Businesses have numerous options to finance commercial and industrial solar projects. This session will review in detail how to determine whether PPA, operating lease, PACE loan or other options work best for you. Speakers:

On March 28th, the U.S. Department of Commerce made the disastrous decision to initiate an anticircumvention investigation against solar cell and module imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This case is already causing serious damage to the U.S. solar industry and threatens tens of thousands of American solar jobs and billions of dollars in U.S. investments.

In 2021 the U.S. Solar Market again set records as demand for residential solar (and storage) reached new levels and the utility-scale solar pipeline continued to be built out.

In June 2021, U.S. Customs & Border Protection issued a withhold-release order (WRO) against products containing silica from Hoshine Silicon Industry Co., impacting solar imports which are now subject to customs enforcement activity, including import detention. While this has impacted the U.S.

Over the last year, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) conducted pilot trials of the new SolarAPP+ platform with 5 AHJs across the country. These pilots served as an opportunity to evaluate the performance of the platform and ensure that it works with a variety AHJs with diverse characteristics and needs.

Companies with diverse ownership work in every aspect and vertical within the solar industry, from manufacturers and project developers, to installers and financiers. To strengthen the DEIJ in the solar and storage industry, SEIA launched the Diverse Suppliers Database last year to connect buyers throughout the supply chain with diverse-owned businesses.
