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.

groSolar’s Jeff Wolfe saw this t-shirt in Cancun at the Climate Conference and posted this from his Twitter account:

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

groSolar will be at Solar Power International (SPI) this October 12-14 at the LA Convention Center in Los Angeles. Stop by our booth, #931! SPI is the largest PV industry tradeshow and conference in the solar industry. Over 1,000 exhibitors and nearly 30,000 attendees will be there. Will you?

In addition to our booth at SPI, our CEO, Jeff Wolfe, will be presenting during public night and will also be speaking on a panel. The details are:

What: Jeff Wolfe presenting “Climate Presentation, Problems and Solutions based on ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and ‘Our Choice’ by Al Gore”
Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Location: Los Angeles Convention Center
Description: Presented at the free “Public Night” of Solar Power International at the LA Convention Center. Attendance at the talk and for the exhibits if free to the public. The Climate Project’s (TCP) mission is to educate the public about the harmful effects of climate change and to work toward solutions at a grassroots level worldwide. Each TCP Presenter delivers a version of Gore’s slideshow based on his best-selling books and the Academy Award-winning documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth”. As part of this select groups of 1200 individuals in the US chosen to become TCP Presenters, Jeff completed the TCP training program in 2007. Less time is spent on defending the climate science, and more solutions are now presented in the slideshow, since climate change is now more widely understood and accepted.

What: Jeff Wolfe Speaking at “Wholesale Distributed Generation: FITs, Standard Contracts, Auctions, and the Next Big Thing in U.S. Solar”
Date: Thursday, October 14th
Time: 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Location: Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 515B
Description: Wholesale distributed generation is one of the fastest growing and most exciting new solar markets in the country. These facilities have sufficient scale to deliver low prices to ratepayers, and virtually unlimited siting opportunities. Come learn from the experts about the multiple business models, programs, and market participants that are emerging to exploit this market opportunity. The panel will feature presentations from leading utilities, solar companies, and policy experts about current events, and a moderated discussion about future developments.

Hope to see you there!
