ecuring investment and finance has always been a

ngthy, complex process. And now we must factor in

e shrinking pool of investors and cautious lenders

ho are still reeling from the credit crunch – which

eans it’s increasingly tough to secure vital funds tot technology developed and projects off the ground.

day’s market conditions have created additional

rdles for solar financing. However, they are also a

talyst for change and innovation on how projects are

anced, and this year has seen some positive shifts

at are destined to help the long-term viability – and

ort-term health – of the industry.

nonehand,therearefewertaxequityinvestorswith

lar experience than there were this time last year,

hough some of the legacy players are starting to

-enter the arena. And then there are the new kids

the block: corporate, international, and private

uity investors, all of whom have different investment

ofiles and requirements, and are lining up to become

tive players, opening up new avenues for project

ancing.

dd to this the regulatory changes that are on the

rizon, and we are on the threshold of exciting

velopments throughout the solar supply chain…

rticularly on the financial side.

mpered by the serious challenges and business-

ack by popular demand after last year’s hugely

ccessful inaugural event, our mission this year

crystal clear: We’ll give you the knowledge and

siness intelligence you need to make solar

vestment happen. And because we bring solar

ecutives face to face with solar finance decision

akers, the Summit is a fantastic opportunity to meet,

ake valuable new contacts, and start talking about

ecific projects that are ready to be taken to the

xt stage.

How can we be so sure? For the past few

months, we have been speaking to hundreds

of people right across the industry valuechain, including solar companies, investors,

lenders, attorneys and government bodies to

pinpoint the full spectrum of available

finance sources.

And our independent research has enabled

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,andFortune500

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?

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 d eg and the u.S. d hts. 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 h

succeeded in securing investment and finan

in a tight credit market, including Sfs

who raised £77 million in a first close of Seri

C financing and bghS eg who

prevailed in accessing government funds. H

did they do it?
