Micah Gold-Markel has established himself as an entrepreneurial force and a community stalwart in the solar energy sector of Philadelphia. His company, Solar States, has a dual mission of addressing environmental issues while revitalizing the local economy with sustainable jobs. Solar States partners with other organizations to provide free solar training programs to inner-city Philadelphians.

Larry Moyer will be representing One Hope Solar Project, a pilot project in “electricity sharing.” Larry will describe how non-profits can help low-income families through “virtual meter aggregation.” Revenue from this pilot project will create seed money for other, similar solar projects in low-income communities.

Both presenters can discuss how NVNers could assist with these initiatives.

Larry Moyer is a Germantown resident who has been a solar customer and solar energy activist for 14 years.

Micah Gold-Markel came to this work after a “roundabout trip” of bouncing from job to job, including hip hop promotion and software development. After 2008, he became interested in the green energy business, immersing himself in the field so that he was able to combine his commitment to solar energy with vocational training. In 2022 he was named Solar Power World's Top Solar Changemaker.
