Description
The conference will focus on practical experiences of developing and building solar energy communities in different conditions.

Special focus will be on attracting additional funding for energy community development.
At the conference we will also launch the StartSun Start‑Up Guidebook and energy community feasibility calculator that are supportive materials for any individual or organization that wishes to start their own local energy community.
The conference will be in English.
The conference is co-funded by the European Union.
