The Solar industry’s annual gathering of power project developers, equity investors, lenders, venture capitalists and other key players, the 3rd annual “Solar Power Finance & Investment Summit,” produced by Infocast, will be held in San Diego, April 7-9.

The event will offer insights on the entire spectrum of the industry, from individual project development to corporate capital strategies.

Due to the overwhelming success of the previous Summits and with the extension of the renewable energy tax credit through the end of 2008, the enthusiasm for solar power is greater than ever. Major new developments in 2008 in the industry have prompted Infocast to include a day focused solely on solar company financing. Infocast has secured major industry players from Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Morgan Stanley, Akeena Solar and many more for this event.

The Summit will bring together the Solar industry’s leading utility scale and commercial/industrial rooftop project developers, investors, lenders, solar technology companies, venture capitalist and other key industry players to discuss cutting edge developments in Solar power finance and investment, as well as the various challenges and prospects for 2008 and beyond.

Attendees will hear:

• Developers of Commercial, Industrial and Utility scale projects offer their perspective on the current market
• Investors discuss criteria for evaluating and investing in solar projects
• Lenders detail terms and structures for project financing
• Discussions of monetization strategies and deal structures

An in-depth workshop, “Solar Power Project Finance,” precedes the Summit. The workshop will provide the attendees with step-by-step instructions on how to successfully structure and finance solar projects in today’s marketplace.
