The United States is rapidly expanding its use of renewable energy. The Biden Administration's climate action plans have fueled investments in the development of more sustainable energy systems in both the public and private sectors. Solar power, in particular, is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional energy sources due to its renewability and affordability. Florida (aka the "Sunshine State") offers a bright new frontier for the solar market in the US.

The GACC South is hosting the Transatlantic Solar Tech + Storage Summit (TSTSS), funded by the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, to support the ongoing solar technology development in the state. This in-person conference will feature expert keynotes from both sides of the Atlantic, presentations by German solar-related companies, and networking with important stakeholders in the region. 

The conference is free to attend with Excellent Networking opportunities over breakfast and lunch; registration required.
