Solar PPAs are a popular way to finance commercial solar projects, but the process remains nebulous to many installers and developers. In this illuminating webinar, host Tim Montague gets candid insights from two solar financing experts - Marc Palmer of Conductor Solar and Nick Perugini of Solaris Energy. With decades of combined experience structuring, financing, and closing commercial solar PPAs between investors, developers, and host customers, they shed light on real-world best practices.

The discussion covers critical considerations at each stage of the PPA process.

• Finding and aligning with the right customer: What makes a customer a good fit for solar PPAs? How to position the value proposition.
• Project size considerations: Minimum thresholds for economic viability. How different financiers have preferences on project size.
• Finding the right financing partner: Factors like geography, customer type, experience level that determine fit. Due diligence to ensure partner can execute.
• Closing the deal: LOIs, timing, agreement on roles and responsibilities.
• Incorporating battery storage: Emerging best practices on solar + storage PPAs.

Whether you're new to C&I PPAs or have battle scars from past deals gone awry, this webinar will equip you with actionable insights to improve your next C&I solar project. You'll leave ready to replicate the success of leading C&I solar developers and make your next PPA not just workable, but profitable.
