This month the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) is expanding the reach of its monthly newsletter to all of the people who have been in touch with our Society via e-mail over the past several years for one reason or another, like those who have attended past Congresses, signed up for our webinars, or just expressed an interest in our Society’s activities through our website.

ISES’ founding dates back to 1954 as the Association of Applied Solar Energy, later renamed to the Solar Energy Society and then, in 1970, the International Solar Energy Society. Through its Solar Energy Journal, its Congresses, and its participation in other conferences, the Society and its numerous national Sections have long advocated for R&D by governments and private enterprise to support the development of promising new solar energy technologies for key end-use applications such as power generation, space and water heating, and sustainable building design.
