Coalition for Community Solar Access to Host 2nd Annual Community Solar Innovation Summit June 25-27 in Colorado

The Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA)—a national trade association representing over 125 community solar developers, businesses and nonprofits—will host its second annual Community Solar Innovation Summit from June 25–27 at the Westin Hotel in Westminster, Colorado, just minutes from downtown Denver. The event brings together industry leaders, policymakers and advocates to shape the future of clean, local energy and accelerate the deployment of distributed energy across the United States.

Last year, CCSA and its members launched the inaugural Community Solar Innovation Summit, the organization’s first self-hosted conference, welcoming more than 500 attendees.

The only conference created by and for the community solar and distributed energy industry, the Community Solar Innovation Summit brings together experts from across the sector to drive innovation, policy and market growth. All of the revenue generated during the Summit is reinvested back into the expansion of community solar, distributed solar and energy storage, supporting advocacy efforts that protect and grow solar markets across the U.S. and create more opportunities for clean, local energy.

“Community solar is among the fastest growing solar markets in the United States,” said Jeff Cramer, CEO of CCSA. “In 2024, community solar capacity increased 35% from the year prior to 8.6 GW of total national capacity, enough electricity to power more than 7.5 million homes for an entire year. We’re excited to build upon this momentum and the groundwork established during last year’s inaugural Community Solar Innovation Summit as we continue to pursue our mission of providing solar access for all.”

Among the more than 50 industry expert speakers and panelists will be Georgia State Representative Beth Camp, and Keith Martin, co-head of projects for Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, a global law firm that counts energy, infrastructure and resources among its specialties. 

Camp in February led a bipartisan group of legislators in Georgia to introduce legislation to expand community solar across the state called the Georgia Homegrown Solar Act of 2025. She serves as chair of the House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Ad Hoc Committee on Community Solar.

Focused on transactional law, Martin’s principal areas of practice are tax and project finance. Recognized as a preeminent authority on tax structurings in the U.S., he lobbies Congress and the Treasury Department on policy issues and is ranked among the country’s top renewable energy lawyers.

A complete list of speakers and panelists for the 2025 summit can be found by visiting www.communitysolar.events/event/annualsummit/speakers.

Through CCSA’s robust agenda, attendees will hear the latest on market and policy trends from community solar experts and thought leaders who are expanding markets across the country, participate in in-depth discussions on key topics shaping the future of community and distributed solar and connect with and explore the latest innovations by our exhibitors.

Panelists will address best practices in interconnection, siting and permitting, customer management, consumer protection and access and inclusion processes for low-to-moderate income customers, as well as Solar for All program rollouts.

In addition to the event’s educational sessions and exhibition space, the summit will provide networking opportunities for attendees and exhibitors, including a members-only pre-Summit gathering and a full-conference reception on the first day of the Summit.

“The Community Solar Innovation Summit aims to be the industry’s leading community solar conference, offering expert insights on market trends, policies and best practices from community solar leaders and experts,” added Cramer. “We’re excited for the second annual event and the opportunity to showcase transformative solutions and emerging technologies and innovations in community solar as we focus on growth and expanding access.”

U.S. International Trade Commission Votes in Favor of Domestic Solar Manufacturers in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Cases
May 20, 2025

U.S. International Trade Commission Votes in Favor of Domestic Solar Manufacturers in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Cases

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) unanimouslyfound injury, and voted in favor of The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, in its antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations concerning crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells and modules imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.  

“Today’s vote leaves no doubt: These Chinese-headquartered companies have been violating trade laws by overwhelming the U.S. market with unfairly cheap, dumped and subsidized solar panels -- and they continue to do so from third-party markets around the world, undermining U.S. industrial strategy and stunting new investment. This cannot stand.  Our growing American industry deserves – and now will have - the chance to compete fairly,” said Tim Brightbill, co-chair of Wiley’s International Trade Practiceand lead counsel to the Alliance. 

The Alliance originally filed the AD/CVD petitions on April 24, 2024, alleging unfair practices that have caused immense volatility and cost uncertainty across the U.S. domestic solar market in recent years. Today’s vote is the culmination of the year-long investigation in which the U.S. Department of Commerce and ITC sought to verify whetherthe U.S. domestic solar industry has been injured by unfair and illegal trade practices by these Chinese-headquartered companies. 

Next Steps 

The Department of Commerce will issue AD and CVD orders June 9, 2025. On June 16, 2025, the orders will be in effect, allowing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin collecting duties on imports from these companies at the point of entry. With the publication of the final orders, the duty rates applied will be updated to reflect the rates calculated in the final determination.  

The investigations were initiated in response to petitions filed on April 24, 2024, by the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee—a coalition of U.S. solar manufacturers including Convalt Energy, First Solar, Meyer Burger, Mission Solar, Qcells, REC Silicon, Swift Solar, and Talon PV. The coalition, represented by Wiley Rein LLP, sought relief from unfair trade practices that have undermined the U.S. solar manufacturing sector.
