    2026 Solar Summit

    Click Here to Register 

    Since 2015, Solar Washington's Solar Summit has been the must-attend conference for anyone engaged in solar deployment, education, and advocacy in Washington state. Each year, it brings together the full spectrum of the solar community — manufacturers, distributors, engineers, consultants, and installers; representatives from utilities, municipalities, and tribes; legislators and policymakers; nonprofits, educators, and students; advocacy organizations, financial lenders, and homeowners — for a day of candid conversation on the issues shaping solar's future in Washington.

    This year's theme, Solar, Now More Than Ever, digs into the challenges and opportunities ahead as shifting state and federal budgets, evolving policy, market dynamics, and new technology reshape the landscape. Through a keynote, panel discussions, and networking, the Solar Summit brings together experts, innovators, and collaborators to talk strategy for resilience and growth — and to walk away with real insight into the trends, policy shifts, financing models, and technological breakthroughs driving solar adoption forward, uncertainty and all.

    The 2026 Solar Summit will be held on October 9 at South Seattle Community College.  More information.
