As part of the City of St. Louis Climate Protection Initiative, and in conjunction with the City's renewable energy efforts supported by its Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge award, the Office of Sustainability, the Missouri Solar Energy Industries Association (MOSEIA), and CORTEX will hold a free solar expo and symposium to facilitate the uptake of solar energy in the private section.

The primary objective of the STL Solar Expo & Symposium is to assist those who might be considering solar installations on residential or small commercial buildings. The (outdoor) STL Solar Expo will feature solar exhibitors and professionals. The STL Solar Expo intent is to provide a "one-stop shopping" opportunity for prospective purchasers of solar energy to connect with representatives of the solar industry, solar financing firms, and permitting authorities within the City of St. Louis. Held at the same time, the (indoor) STL Solar Symposium will be an opportunity for people who want to learn more about solar energy, solar installation, or solar financing to hear short presentations delivered by experts in the field.

The STL Solar Expo & Symposium will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 3 in the CORTEX Commons, 4240 Duncan in the Central West End neighborhood. In addition, Grow Solar St. Louis will make a debut at the STL Solar Expo & Symposium event. Grow Solar St. Louis is a residential solar group buy program, including the City of St. Louis. Learn more at the STL Solar Expo on Aug. 3, and watch for a list of Power Hours -- free one-hour sessions to learn more about this cost efficient, easy and effective program. This program is brought to you by the Missouri Botanical Garden's EarthWays Center and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
