Today\\u2019s episode, back by popular request - is in English. ;-)

This is Episode 27 of SunCast, and Episode 7 in the Latam Founders Series. It\\u2019s the final installment of this series, brought to you in collaboration with Enphase Energy. I\\u2019ve really enjoyed this series, as it\'s given us a real chance to dig deep into some of the up-and-coming solar companies in the Latin America region.  If you\'ve enjoyed this series-style focus, would you shoot me a message? What else should we do a series on?  You can find me on Linkedin, or just drop by www.mysuncast.com and leave me a voicemail.

Well Today on SunCast, you\'ll meet Juan Carlos Navarro, founder and CEO of N-Solar in Panama.  If you\'ve never had the pleasure of meeting Juan Carlos, he\'s not only a luminary in Panamanian society (he was mayor of Panama City for a Decade!), but is also an entirely passionate fanatic of solar power and climate conservation.  We go into his background in non-profit management and his 10+ yrs as a public dignitary, and I\'m sure you\'ll find some interesting takeaways on the how and why he decided to start a solar company.

Among the many topics today, we cover:

• The value of technological innovation as a differentiator in the sales & marketing of a solar firm
• The three areas Juan Carlos has learned the most in founding a solar company
• Common challenges facing all latam solar startups
• The logic behind building a 2.4MW utility project with microinverters
• Juan Carlos\'s extensive reading list,
• And much, much more

We hope you get a ton of value from today\\u2019s episode, but if you\\u2019re interested in learning more about Juan Carlos and his team, I encourage you to visit their website or their Facebook Page.
