Solar Power

For the second year in a row at Solar Power International, professional women in the solar industry gathered to network, eat and listen to presentations at the Women in Solar Breakfast. The group, which was informally put together about three years ago by philanthropist and solar industry executive Isabelle Christensen, has now met formally twice. The women come together with three goals in mind: to encourage more women to join the still-male-dominated solar industry; to provide resources and networking opportunities for women to help them advance their careers within the solar industry; to find ways that women can give back by working to increase the amount of solar power in the developing world
