groSolar CEO, Jeff Wolfe, will be one of the featured presenters for the online presentation by AltaTerra Research Network titled “On-Site Solar Power Policies and Incentives: Where’s the Money?” The presentation will be held on Thursday, March 17th from 11a-12:30p PDT/ 2p-3:30p EDT.

Overview

For most companies and organizations considering rooftop or other on-site solar in the U.S. today, government economic incentives strongly influence when, how, and whether or not to “go solar” at a particular facility. For solar product and service providers, the state and federal policy environment is crucial to determining which markets will be the most active.

In California and New Jersey, advantageous policies have stimulated the creation of the two largest solar markets in the United States. Now other states are beginning to follow suit–including Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and North Carolina.

In this online briefing, Eric Paul, analyst at AltaTerra Research, opens the session with an overview and outlook for federal and state support for distributed renewable energy systems. Jeff Wolfe, chair of the Photovoltaics (PV) division of the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) and CEO of groSolar, provides a perspective on how commercial, institutional, and industrial customers evaluate solar project opportunities. As head of one of North America’s oldest and most geographically diversified solar energy distributors and installers, Mr. Wolfe has unique insight into how customers are actually deploying solar energy systems and which policies have been the most effective at stimulating the market. Mr. Wolfe will be joined by a speaker from SEIA’s Government Affairs division discussing the current state of play and legislative agenda in Washington.

T-shirt @COP16, quotes a youth delegate “You have been negotiating my entire life. Don’t tell me you need more time.” So true.
