It’s summertime; our favorite time of the year, when the sun shines strong and the days are long. With state legislatures on summer break, Vote Solar takes time over the summer months to prepare for the next years campaigns, and to exchange ideas and information with other organizations working to advance clean energy in this country.
We thought you might want to get in on the conversation.
The Vote Solar Get Some Sun webinar series is back!
Our free monthly webinars will bring you up to speed on the hottest solar issues, from the latest technological advances to updates from the frontlines of the policy battles we’re fighting to give our kids a future where solar energy is a mainstream energy resource.
Webinars are held Wednesdays at 10 AM Pacific Time/1 PM Eastern Time – here’s what’s coming up next:

Michael Grunwald, journalist and recent author of The NEW New Deal, will share his account of one of the most sweeping bills in U.S. history― how it happened, how it’s transforming our energy economy, and how it’s being distorted by the Washington fun house.
