Next Generation Solar Solutions
The first wave of clean energy investments have been in solar solutions. Now that investments have taken place for decades, the verdict has been coming in on solar solutions: some have evaporated, some have excelled, some are STILL up and coming, and some are amongst the walking dead. This leaves investors wary about funding new solar solutions, particularly if they are ‘me-too’ solutions, without innovation in technology or business models.

This month’s panel will advise entrepreneurs and investors on next generation solar solutions and will specifically: highlight technology breakthroughs, comment on existing solar technologies and business models, and profile new business models and markets. Our panel will consist of:

• Facilitator Craig Lobdell, Partner, KPMG
• Panelist Matthew Garratt, Senior Associate, Battery Ventures
• Panelist Bob MacDonald, CEO, Skyline Solar
• Panelist Lorenza Moro, Senior Researcher, Materials Science Laboratory, SRI International
• Panelist Ryan Murr, Partner, Business Law Department, Goodwin Procter LLC
• Panelist PR Yu, CEO, Optony
