PITCH SESSION

The NY Solar Summit solicited ideas, big and small, that can help achieve the goals of New York State’s ‘Reforming the Energy Vision’ (REV). Four applicants were selected to give a five minute pitch at the Solar Summit and hear feedback from a panel of Solar Leaders. All applications were reviewed by the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative Rooftop Solar Challenge II NYS Financing Options Working Group, which worked with NYS Solar Ombudsmen and the NYSolar Smart team on final selections. WINNER: SUNVERGE ENERGY
