About the American Solar Energy Society
Established in 1954, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is the nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the use of solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies in the U.S.
Leading for more than 50 years
ASES leads national efforts to promote solar energy education, public outreach, and advocacy. ASES publishes the award-winning SOLAR TODAY magazine, organizes and presents the ASES National Solar Conference, and leads the ASES National Solar Tour – the largest solar energy event in the world, as well as other powerful programs.
Changing how Americans think about solar
In 2007 the American Solar Energy Society published the groundbreaking Green-Collar Jobs report which showed that renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors generate 8.5 million jobs and nearly $1 trillion in annual revenue in the U.S. The second report, Tackling Climate Change in the U.S., demonstrated how renewable energy and energy efficiency can provide the carbon emissions reductions needed to mitigate climate change. ASES efforts have been highlighted by leading media outlets across the U.S. including: the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, NPR, Time, BusinessWeek, NBC, Fox News, San Jose Mercury News, Rocky Mountain News, and countless others.
Bringing the solar community together
ASES is now supported by more than 11,000 members across the nation – energy professionals and grassroots supporters – who work together to help create a sustainable energy economy. Combined with ASES’ regional chapters in 40 states and as the U.S. section of the International Solar Energy Society we’re a key part of a powerful, collaborative network – because the need for renewable energy is clear. Fossil fuels are putting the U.S. economy and environment at risk. Energy costs continue to soar. Pollution and climate change threaten our children’s future. Even the security of our nation is at risk as the U.S. continues to buy fuel from turbulent regions. The time for change is now.
Creating a sustainable energy economy
That’s why we’re asking for your help. Solar energy and energy efficiency are key to protecting the environment and growing the economy. They help tackle climate change and promote energy independence. But we urgently need your support to strengthen these important efforts. You can make a difference. Together, we can create a sustainable energy economy. Will you please join us?
