Help Us Support Solar Energy In Kentucky!

Promoting the future

Make Your Voice Heard

Unless we do something, entrenched interests will continue to prevent or discourage private ownership of solar energy and work to restrict solar’s access to the energy grid.

01. If you’re a solar energy supporter, then let your legislator know that solar energy is important to you.
02. Your state legislators in Frankfort need to understand the importance of solar energy to Kentucky’s future, and there’s one way to let them know – contact them!

​​A Value for the Industry and a Voice for Consumers 

KYSEIA, which is the Kentucky chapter of the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA), is the preeminent solar organization in Kentucky. With more members than any other solar advocacy group in the Commonwealth, KYSEIA has strong representation from residential, commercial/industrial and utility-scale solar.

That translates into successful advocacy, sound resources for members and consumers, and strong outreach for members’ projects.

  •     Stopped two restrictive land-use bills in 2020 and 2021
  •     Actively monitor all regulated utility rate cases at the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) and filed complaints when necessary 
  •     Engage in all proceedings at PSC that could potentially impact Kentucky’s solar industry and consumers
