 Solar Power Now Represents More Than 30% of
the $100 Billion Renewable Energy Market
Take part in the event that pinpoints the quickest, easiest ways
to secure the finance you need – and network with 200 senior
solar stakeholders at this premier investment and finance
meeting point
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.
On one hand, there are fewer tax equity investors with
solar 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
us to hand-pick 40+ speakers, all of whom
are 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, and Fortune 500
Corporations. 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.
Could YOU be chosen? If you’re interested,
contact New Solar Today right now!
Make the smart choice and reserve your
ticket now – attending could unlock a deal or
opportunity that will become the core of your
business in years to come.
In short, the 2nd Solar Energy Investment and
Finance Summit is a must-attend. No classroom
theory or empty talk. Just powerful strategies,
techniques and methods designed to boost your
chances of getting funding.
