About the Conference

Thanks to PPA financing, the solar industry is seeing exponential growth rates of 20-30%. And yet: all installed solar barely makes up 1% of the total US power generation resources – the potential for market expansion is nearly infinite, with room for all players and all technologies.

The drivers of that expansion include expanding Renewable Portfolio Standards, high interest from portfolio owners in solar PPA rooftops, widespread city incentive programs, DOE’s Solar America Initiative and the Clinton Climate Initiative, a first Net Metering Tariff bill moving towards the floor of the US House of Representatives, ... all the while, announced 10-30% grid price hikes drive home solar’s fundamental value proposition.

However, only the best informed will be able to capitalize on this remarkable opportunity. As a result, Infocast has organized this third Solar Development & Finance Tutorial, now focused exclusively on bulk residential, commercial and utility projects up to the two megawatt range (both rooftop and ground). The Tutorial adds deeper coverage of the ins and outs of the PPA finance model, including its recent extension to residential projects, while two key trends will prepare you for the next generation of massively distributed PV: “Renewable Energy Financing Districts” as enabled by AB811 and integration of solar with tomorrow’s Smart Grid.

Once again, Infocast’s Solar Tutorial will deliver the most incisive map of the market opportunities, segments, models and barriers in solar. We will guide you through the finance, structuring and development process in a thorough, step-by-step fashion. Whether you are a new cleantech executive shifting over from a different space, junior staff, trainee or fresh financial or development entrant to solar, you will acquire the strategic framework and know-how to profitably play your part, with access to top solar lawyers, consultants, developers and financiers. You can ask them your hardest questions, network with potential partners, customers, investors and suppliers, and come home fully equipped to profit from the solar boom years ahead.
