The Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA) represents and serves Minnesota energy professionals and solar energy users. MnSEIA's membership is comprised of approximately 100 organizations involved in photovoltaic and solar thermal energy, including solar installers, vendors, developers, distributors, manufacturers, job trainers, labor unions, law firms and utilities. Our work primarily focuses on state Legislative lobbying efforts and administrative implementation work at the state agency level. We work year round to get as much solar deployed in Minnesota and by our members as possible. We also offer great networking and education opportunities by virtue of our every-other-month membership meetings, frequent working groups, occasional training sessions, and our annual Gateway to Solar conference.
