June 15 Event Provides Day of Latest Insight on Solar Industry

Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association will kick off an exciting day of presentations and panel discussions on solar energy development in Georgia, the Southeast and the nation on June 15, 2012, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the GTRI Conference Center, 250 14th Street, Atlanta.

Don’t miss this great opportunity – now available for the Early Bird price of $99 for members or $159 for non-members – to hear about solar deals taking place nearby and elsewhere – and what financial tools are available to get them from concept to finished product.

Rhone Resch has been working in the clean energy sector for more than 20 years. He will bring keen insight on evolving federal policies as well as innovations around the U.S.  Resch holds an MPA from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School, a master’s in Environmental Engineering from SUNY Syracuse and a B.A. from the University of Michigan. He served as a program manager at the EPA’s Climate Protection Division during the Clinton Administration.

Attendees at this year’s Southern Solar Summit will also hear about the latest developments in the U.S. military’s leadership on solar deployment from Col. Dan Nolan, U.S. Army (Ret.), founding principal of the military “Green Hawks” and featured energy expert in the documentary “Carbon Nation.” A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Col. Nolan holds a master’s degree in strategic planning from the U.S. Naval War College and was a principal advisor to General Tommy Franks at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.

And those are just two in an exciting line-up of solar energy expertise. Other panelists at the Southern Solar Summit will include SunPower’s Jim Torpey, Steve Leffin of UPS, Enfinity’s Rafael Dobrzynski and Colin Murchie of SolarCity. The day will also include lunch and cocktail-hour networking opportunities.   Last year’s summit sold out. So, don’t risk missing the exciting, informative line-up this year because you waited too long to register. Take advantage of the Early Bird prices and reserve your space today. After May 31, the cost of reservations for the Solar Summit will go up.
