Registration Form Instructions

The Meetings include a series of breakout sessions held during the event. There will be 2 sets of breakout sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The first set of breakout sessions will focus on infrastructure development, and the second day of sessions will focus on market expansion. As available, participants will be allowed to choose their breakout group topic. Specific group topics will be:

Infrastructure Development Breakout Groups (morning)
Group A: Codes and Standards
Group B: Education and Certification of Installers/Code Officials
Group C: PV Rating System
Group D: Financial and Insurance Issues

Market Expansion Breakout Groups (afternoon)
All of the Market Expansion Breakout Groups will cover the same topics related to growing the markets for solar technologies, including how to promote large-scale installations, overcoming obstacles to building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), promoting city-level engagement with solar technology (e.g., the Solar America Cities concept). Participants will be evenly divided and randomly assigned to a breakout group for these sessions.

**These groups are subject to change. Every effort will be made to accommodate your requested breakout group preference.

The size of breakout groups will be controlled by DOE. However, every effort will be made to place participants in the group they most prefer as long as group size permits.

Questions related to registration, meeting materials, etc. should be directed to meetings@sentech.org

EMAIL CONFIRMATION WILL BE SENT TO REGISTRANT UPON ACCEPTANCE.

It is our expectation that participants will come having provided feedback to the Department's SAI Technology Acceptance Request for Information (RFI). The RFI includes instructions on how to respond to the focus areas contained therein. The RFI focus areas also provide more detail about the topics of the breakout groups. Participants should plan on fully reviewing this material prior to arrival.
