Mission
The Architectural Solar Association ASA is an industry advocate for standards development, education, legislative regulations, building and energy codes, and architectural solar design specifications as they relate to integrating solar into the architectural envelope. We represent a growing industry with a common goal of transforming building facades and other architectural surfaces into generating assets.
Program accomplishments
- In 2025 the Association entered the third and final budget period of its three-budget-period award with the U.S. Department of Energy, continuing its collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to produce and deliver educational content on architectural solar to the building industry. During the year the Department of Energy placed the award under review and program funding was paused. As a result, the Association conducted its 2025 program activities at risk, without assurance of reimbursement. Despite this uncertainty, we continued to convene our Technical Advisory Group, advanced development of our architectural solar installation database, completed our quarterly project and management reporting, completed required NREL ethics training, and engaged with international building-integrated photovoltaic standards efforts. We also continued to support our member organizations through industry resources and networking opportunities. Program income recognized during the year was tied to work completed in 2024; labor performed in early 2025 remained unbilled or unpaid as of year-end, pending resumption of funding by the Department of Energy.
