Solar Installers Form Trade Association in Missouri
In June of 2009, solar installers from across the state came together to form an industry trade association. The Missouri Solar Energy Industry Association (MOSEIA) is forming in large part as a result of Proposition C, which Missouri voters passed in 2008. Proposition C mandates 15% of the electricity produced by Missouri investor owned utilities (IOUs) comes from renewable sources by 2021, 2% of which must come from solar photovoltaics.
