Some say that everything is bigger in the USA — and Solar Media’s 7th Annual Solar & Storage finance event will be no exception.
In its new Virtual format, this event is designed as a meeting place for deal-making. Not only will we discuss the most up to date topics and technologies but will also provide a world-class networking platform so that developers, EPCs, manufacturers, asset owners, and investors can connect to discuss future opportunities.
There is no better time to discuss Solar & Storage investment than today, as in order to reach the USA’s ‘majority renewables vision’ by 2030 the market will need to increase by 18% percent through the next decade with installations averaging 39GW per year. This is a big step up from an already impressive 2019 where the market grew 23% and installed 13.3GW.
Solar & Storage mandates and initiatives will hopefully continue to spread through the United States by all players — states, cities, corporations, co-ops, and residents — an unstoppable force to ensure the grid transforms into a more resilient, efficient, and lucrative resource.
Whilst we still navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear the industry must chart a path forward that put a premium on innovation, jobs recovery and an intelligent approach to energy generation. This conference plays a pivotal role in discussing the right strategy, policies and investment needed to ensure the American economy is fuelled by clean energy.

Biden takes office in January, but the “whole picture changes” if the Dems can take the Senate. Liam Stoker looks at the impact a Democrat victory in the forthcoming Georgia run-offs could have.
Barriers to financing for energy storage could hold back the growth of solar in the US, while an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for standalone energy storage should be introduced, the audience heard as our publisher Solar Media hosted the Solar and Storage Finance USA event last week.
The US renewables industry must double down on efforts to overcome energy storage financing issues so the technology can help supplement the country’s PV ramp up, it was suggested at a Solar & Storage Finance USA event.
The importance of software for the bankability of a project is growing, as the opportunities for energy storage around the United States continues to expand.
US policymakers should explore the possibility of scrapping the investment tax credit (ITC) for solar PV and instead offer fiscal support for battery storage systems, an energy finance executive has said.
While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have initiated something of a freeze on new solar financing deals in the US, significant interest in M&A remains and the incoming Biden administration could ease the logjam.
