The New York Solar Energy Society (NYSES) is a chapter of the American Solar Energy Society.

NYSES is a volunteer, grassroots, membership organization serving the children, families, engineers, architects and teachers of New York State since 2007. NYSES prepares consumer knowledge handouts about energy conservation and renewable energy and distributes Green Energy Times, a resource publication, to the public throughout eastern New York State. NYSES analyses legislation and state programs and visits with the staff of legislators in New York City, New York State and in Washington, DC.

OUR MISSION

The New York Solar Energy Society (NYSES) mission is to encourage the understanding and use of solar energy technologies through public outreach, to be a source of sound technical knowledge and to provide a forum to address critical regional and state issues relating to solar energy solutions. We address the energy usage of all segments of society by increasing awareness of the benefits of renewables: solar, wind, biomass, geothermal ground source, tidal/wave energy and energy efficiency.

WHO WE ARE

We are solar enthusiasts, engineers, developers, contractors, policy makers, teachers, researchers, Wall Street analysts, manufactures and homeowners. NYSES is a chapter of the American Solar Energy Society which was founded in 1954 and, in turn, became a chapter of the International Solar Energy Society.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

We have a fun educational and interactive exhibit to show children and families how solar energy can work for them. We incorporate energy saving tips as well as information about wind, biomass, geothermal ground source heat, tidal and wave energy.

We educate consumers to help them know how to choose cost effective, energy solutions with our Homeowner Workshops, K-12 special events, solar demonstrations with hands-on workshops, renewable energy finance seminars and email newsletters.

Solar Today magazine is published monthly by the American Solar Energy Society.
