Dan Whitten, senior director of communications at America's Natural Gas Alliance, has moved to the Solar Energy Industries Association as VP of communications for the Washington-based trade group.

SEIA counts around 1,000 member companies in the solar sector.

Whitten is a former energy and environmental journalist for Bloomberg News in Washington and former congressional correspondent for Platts.

SEIA said Whitten will be "heavily involved in advancing the public discourse" on solar issues like the investment tax credit, which is up for renewal.
