Financing Solar Energy
May 21 - 22, 2009

Conference Overview
It is predicted that by 2025, 10% of US electricity will come from solar energy.
Today, that percentage is less than 1%, but the use of solar energy is on the rise,
increasing at a rate of 40% annually over the past several years. Given the tremendous
opportunities in the solar energy field and the fact that energy is one of the three
major areas on which the Obama administration plans to focus, being a part of the
solar energy movement is not only exciting but also one of the safest investments
available in the energy arena today.
Recent legislation extended the Energy Credit by eight years, providing a 30% tax
credit on investments in solar energy facilities, and the 2009 American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act added a framework for converting these tax credits into federal
grants for 2009 and 2010 facilities. America’s focus on the environment and its
quest for alternative energy sources make being a participant in this field not
only a good business decision, but good for the well being of the country and the
world, as well.
