About The Principal Solar Institute

The Principal Solar Institute is an association of researchers, investors, developers, installers and manufacturers dedicated to advancing the solar energy industry. The Institute was created by Principal Solar, Inc., and is not affiliated with any module or system component manufacturer.

We believe that mainstream adoption of photovoltaic solar energy is imminent, and will play a vital role in the utility-scale power industry. We also believe that mainstream solar power is about knowledge. The Principal Solar Institute is dedicated to spreading solar knowledge to the critical stakeholders in the ongoing energy debate.
