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.

s against this backdrop of huge growth potential
mpered by the serious challenges and business-
tical questions that solar professionals must confrontat we invite you to join your peers at th 2 Sg is f S.
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

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,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?
