If you\u2019ve been following along the touchstones that make up the community solar market\u2026

\u201cIn this final episode of our 5-part series, we still have one more segment of this quilt of knowledge left to weave - the money - how does it work? You heard David Sandbank in Episode 1 refer to the Value Stack. The ways in which the market participants are incentivized to participate is an important element of any complete understanding of an industry sufficient that you could actually begin to participate in it. So, today I\u2019m sitting down with Sy Kim, an industry veteran who has become a go-to resource for those who wish to develop market entry and business development plans for community solar. I first met Sy back when he was a project developer at SunPower before he went on to take senior leadership roles in NRG Energy and what would become Clearway. Sy\u2019s market understanding surpasses most others I\u2019ve met when it comes to explaining the one piece left to unravel in this tapestry - just how does the revenue in these projects stack up? 

We discuss RECs, Tax Equity, market constraints & More. 

From types of offtakers to credit risk, incentives and customer mix, this final discussion will hopefully help fill any remaining gaps in your understanding of just exactly what community solar is and how you can participate in this high-growth opportunity.
