Attractive regional and federal tax incentives, coupled with rising energy costs, are leading an increasing number of businesses, governments and homeowners to invest in solar energy projects. Join a free, hour-long Web conference to learn from three of the region's solar experts about some of the financing mechanisms available for solar energy projects.

Whether you are a business owner, a contractor, a manager at a regional electric utility, or an individual wanting to learn more about third-party financing solutions, join the third and final installment of nwcurrent's Web conference series. Third-party financers for energy projects, or energy service companies, provide the financing needed to cover the original capital investment associated with installing and maintaining solar installations.

The Web conference, hosted by the region’s clean energy news service nwcurrent, features three of the Northwest’s solar financing experts. Hear presentations from Sandra Walden, director and a managing partner for Commercial Solar Ventures and Real Energy Solutions and Shilpa Shah, Pacific Northwest business development director for MMA Renewable Ventures. Kacia Brockman, the solar program manager for the Energy Trust of Oregon will also be on hand to discuss her role in helping Portland General Electric and PacifiCorp customers explore solar power projects.
