SolarPowerNowRepresentsMoreThan30%ofthe$100BillionRenewableEnergyMarket

the solar power industry is rapidly becoming the red hot segment of the renewable energy market. even at the height of the credit crisis, north america’s solar market increased by 16% – with over $3 billion invested in new solar companies and technologies during 2008.

That’s good news for everyone in the industry. But make no mistake.

the shift in the economy has fundamentally changed the way renewable projects are financed

Securing investment and finance has always been a lengthy, complex process. And now we must factor in the shrinking pool of investors and cautious lenders who are still reeling from the credit crunch – which means it’s increasingly tough to secure vital funds to get technology developed and projects off the ground.

Today’s market conditions have created additional hurdles for solar financing. However, they are also a catalyst for change and innovation on how projects are financed, and this year has seen some positive shifts that are destined to help the long-term viability – and short-term health – of the industry.

Ononehand,therearefewertaxequityinvestorswithsolar experience than there were this time last year, although some of the legacy players are starting to re-enter the arena. And then there are the new kids on the block: corporate, international, and private equity investors, all of whom have different investment profiles and requirements, and are lining up to become active players, opening up new avenues for project financing.

Add to this the regulatory changes that are on the horizon, and we are on the threshold of exciting developments throughout the solar supply chain… particularly on the financial side.

Sources of finance that are available right now – plus ample opportunity to discuss your projects with potential investors

It’s against this backdrop of huge growth potential tempered by the serious challenges and business-critical questions that solar professionals must confront that we invite you to join your peers at the 2nd Solar energy investment and finance Summit.

Back by popular demand after last year’s hugely successful inaugural event, our mission this year is crystal clear: We’ll give you the knowledge and business intelligence you need to make solar investment happen. And because we bring solar executives face to face with solar finance decision makers, the Summit is a fantastic opportunity to meet, make valuable new contacts, and start talking about specific projects that are ready to be taken to the next stage.

How can we be so sure? For the past few months, we have been speaking to hundreds of people right across the industry value chain, including solar companies, investors, lenders, attorneys and government bodies to pinpoint the full spectrum of available finance sources.

And our independent research has enabled ustohand-pick40+speakers,allofwhomare respected and renowned in their fields of expertise. They are ready and eager to talk money, money, money: How to tap into the federal stimulus dollars… currently available sources of project finance … who’s lending and where they are banking their bucks… who’s investing and what they’re demanding… and that’s just for starters.

For instance, we’ll also examine the flurry of activity from non-traditional sources of permanent financing – regional financial institutions,utilities,andFortune500Corporations. With distributed generation solar looking like a very solid investment, thanks to the eight-year ITC extension, the potential for cash grants to ease upfront investment and the basic principle that solar is a stable resource with low technology risk, could this trend develop into something much bigger?

the guidance you need to secure investment and financing in the economic downturn – from people with up-to-the-moment hands-on experience

When you come to review the Summit Agenda, you’ll see how we’re primed to deliver stimulating presentations packed with authoritative information you can’t get anywhere else.

You’ll be briefed on the latest developments on the Stimulus Bill and how the program is working in real life from the uS department of energy and the u.S. department of the treasury. And get up-to-speed on the latest polices and upcoming legislation that will affect America’s solar industry as a whole… and your business in particular.

We’ll give you the low-down on who’s still active in the venture capital, tax equity, private equity and debt financing space to ensure you’re fully aware of all the options. And that’s not all. You’ll see clearly if your technology is what investors favor – and if your project is financially viable – as we drill down into what investors and lenders are looking for.

You’ll hear first-hand from colleagues who have succeeded in securing investment and finance in a tight credit market, including Solfocus who raised £77 million in a first close of Series C financing and brightSource energy who prevailed in accessing government funds. How did they do it?

come and find out, step-by-step, how to get the funds you need from both the private and public sector and avoid common mistakes that can ruin your chance of investment.

As the Summit unfolds, you’ll also find out how leading utilities like pG&e, Southern california edison and San diego Gas and electric view solar power in comparison to other renewable energy sources. And hear about opportunities that are available to you in the public markets.

There’s also an in-depth briefing on the direct impact of the financial crisis on solar project financing and development. Complete with six and twelve-month forecasts from nrel, Wall Street, new energy finance and navigant consulting.

Will you be one of the lucky few who’s singled out for free 1-to-1 finance advice?

As an added bonus, a select few delegates at the Summit will be awarded a free financial consultation on their technology and projects, giving them the opportunity to sit down with expert advisers who are active in the deal-making process and get guidance on ways to improve their chances of finance, along with tips on how to present their projects for maximum lender appeal.
