Liberals will too!
FIT rates will drop either way

Lessons Learned
• Investors & Project Finance are out there, and yes, in Canada too
• Governments can and will help
• In both cases:
Figure out who, then ask them for advice.
“What are you looking for?”
Follow up on rejection, learn! Try again!

Lessons Learned• Big players will work with a small company
• Get top people on-board early (worry if you can’t)
• Early on, their contribution should be easy, low risk & cheap, but NO FREEBIES!
• Easier to propose a project than join one.
• Time-vampires and needy partners get dropped VERY easily

Lessons Learned• Are your customers really your focus?
• Should focus on the bankers, which means:• Show how you’re going to prove your claims.
• Don’t avoid talking risks.
• Never try TWO new things at once.• Understand project finance, taxes & full costs.
Customers are plentiful,customers with money are rare.

There is a demand for “better”
• Better = New, but also risky • Cost! “No premium electrons”• Lower LCOE vs. Racing Stripes• But not all racing stripes are equal

Opportunities
Crowded Markets in Solar:• 10 MW Solar farms• Rooftops• Ground-mounted MicroFIT
• Too much focus on “site”
• Not enough differentiation
• Many 100 kW to 2 MW projects out there.
Finance at smaller scale: More options & less painful.

Opportunities
• Many opportunities vs. “my baby” • Most projects fail before they start• So, get to “No” quickly (and often)
