The conference will include presentations on solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and passive geothermal systems. Attendees will learn firsthand about owning and operating commercial and residential solar arrays, small and large wind turbines, micro- and commercial-scale hydroelectric systems and about biomass utilization in West Virginia.
