The American Solar Energy Society's 52nd National Solar Conference (ASES SOLAR 2023) was held at the University of Colorado Boulder, with the theme of "Transforming the Energy Landscape for All." The conference brought together solar and renewable energy professionals and thought leaders from various fields, including researchers, architects, engineers, entrepreneurs, installers, manufacturers, economists, finance professionals, and policymakers. The papers presented explored best practices and major roadblocks in the transformation towards 100% renewable energy in the United States, focusing on the challenges to advancing renewables through principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI).

The conference papers covered a wide range of topics, including solar energy technology, policy, economics, and social impact. They highlighted the progress made in recent years in solar energy adoption, but also identified the remaining barriers to achieving 100% renewable energy. One of the key challenges identified was the need to address the social and economic disparities that exist in the energy sector, particularly in communities of color and low-income communities.

To address these challenges, the conference papers proposed a range of solutions, including community-based solar programs, renewable energy financing, and energy efficiency programs. They also emphasized the importance of policy and regulatory changes to support the growth of renewable energy.

One of the highlights of the conference was the keynote address by Dr. Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan and current Secretary of Energy for the United States. Dr. Granholm spoke about the importance of renewable energy in addressing climate change and creating jobs. She highlighted the progress made in Michigan in transitioning to renewable energy and emphasized the need for continued investment in renewable energy research and development.

In addition to the conference papers, the conference also featured a variety of workshops and networking events. These events provided attendees with the opportunity to learn from each other and to develop new partnerships.

Overall, the American Solar Energy Society's 52nd National Solar Conference was a successful event that highlighted the progress made in solar energy adoption and the remaining challenges to achieving 100% renewable energy. The papers presented provided valuable insights and solutions, and the conference provided a platform for the exchange of ideas and perspectives.
