The Future of Community Solar Is Taking Shape in Colorado
Community solar is no longer a niche segment in the market—it’s a critical and rapidly growing stalwart of the clean energy transition. Across the country, states are rolling out new programs, investors are increasing their stake in distributed energy, and innovative models are helping ensure that low-to-moderate income households benefit from clean power. But, with that growth comes complexity and opportunity.
That’s why industry leaders from across the country are heading to Colorado this June for the 2025 Community Solar Innovation Summit (CSIS), the premier national event dedicated to advancing the future of community and distributed solar + storage.
The Community Solar Innovation Summit is hosted by the Coalition for Community Solar Access, the national trade association leading the charge to open, expand, and protect community solar markets. This event was built by the industry, for the industry, with the goal of turning high-level discussions into actionable solutions.
Meet the Changemakers Leading the Conversation
This year’s Summit brings together a powerful lineup of esteemed experts, advocates, and market makers, including:
- Jeff Cramer, CEO & President, Coalition for Community Solar Access

- Kelly Friend, VP, Policy & Regulatory Affairs, Nexamp
- Sarah Wochos, VP, Policy & Business Development, New Leaf Energy
- Sachu Constantine, Executive Director, Vote Solar

But this isn’t just another clean energy conference. The Community Solar Innovation Summit is a working summit—designed for developers, policymakers, utilities, advocates, and financiers who are ready to collaborate, troubleshoot challenges, and accelerate market momentum. It’s the rare kind of event where strategy, policy, and business come together to shape the next chapter of solar access in America.
