LOVELAND — Solar Power Colorado, the largest business-to-business solar conference and expo in the state, will takes place Feb. 9 through 11 at the Embassy Suites Conference Center in Loveland.

During the conference, executives of some of Colorado’s largest solar employers — including Abound Solar, Advanced Energy, SkyFuel, Ascent Solar and others — will share their views on how the solar industry is changing, current challenges, new technology, and what to look for in the year ahead during the State of the Industry panel discussion.

“Colorado’s solar industry is changing at an unprecedented pace,” said Neal Lurie, executive director of the nonprofit Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association, which produces the annual event. “Solar Power Colorado helps business leaders understand the latest changes to better position their organizations for the tremendous opportunities ahead.”

Colorado’s solar industry has grown significantly during the last several years and now supports about 5,300 solar jobs, more than 400 solar businesses, and has contributed more than $500 million in private investment to the Colorado economy, according to Lurie.

Solar Power Colorado is open to business leaders, professionals, career changers and the general public. For more information and to register, go to www.coseia.org.
