Solar Now! University is a small conference that provides community solar champions the technical education and background needed to manage and coordinate solar educational and outreach programs in their communities.
The 2013 Conference will take place on the Oregon coast and will focus the objectives of the US Department of Energy Rooftop Solar Challenge II which is aimed at innovative, local-government-level solutions for eliminating market barriers and lowering the non-hardware balance of system costs ("soft costs") of grid-tied photovoltaics (PV)..

University conference took place in Bend on September 20th-22nd; bringing together representatives from communities across Oregon to learn from experts in the field of solar energy. While this event was open to the public, there were attendees with ties to their local municipalities and existing outreach networks of all levels.
