It’s SOLAR time!

The Philadelphia Solar Energy Association (PSEA) is a volunteer-based, member-supported nonprofit whose goal is to promote the rapid adoption of solar energy across the state.  Founded in 1980, PSEA has sponsored the Junior Solar Sprint every year since 1993, inspiring many young people to pursue careers in math, engineering and science.  PSEA has played a key role in the development of clean energy policies in Pennsylvania towards accelerating the adoption of solar energy to reduce our carbon footprint, improve resilience and energy security and increase our energy independence.

Our History & Mission

The Jr. Solar Sprint race will take place on Sat., June 8, 2024 on Drexel University’s Quad at 31st & Market Streets in Philadelphia.  Awards will be given for Technical Merit, Artistic Merit/Sustainability & Speed. REGISTER BELOW!

Expanding renewable energy in PA to 30% by 2030 is pro- jected to create 129,000 new jobs and increase investment in our state by more than $13 Billion!  PA has fallen behind in the transition to a clean energy future.  HB1467 will help the Commonwealth catch up.

The Solar Toolkit is HERE!

There has never been a better time to go solar, especially for schools! This Toolkit provides the information and tools your school can use to successfully go solar and get the most out of solar photovoltaics (“PV”).
