Upcoming Webinars "Smart Utility Partnerships: How Tucson Electric Power and the University of Arizona are Tackling Key Solar Issues and Maximizing Results" Thursday, February 16, 2012 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern. Estimated duration: 1 hour. Please join us as Tucson Electric Power (TEP) and the University of Arizona’s, Arizona Research Institute for Solar Energy (AzRISE) share their experience and results on selected solar research projects. Hear how this fruitful partnership is maximizing TEP’s support and producing solid results in a variety of areas including actual PV panel field performance. TEP will describe the utility’s participation and the multiple benefits being realized, including important ancillary benefits in the areas of stakeholder engagement and community outreach. AzRISE will discuss a few of their projects at the TEP Solar Test Yard including field performance and degradation study results. Speakers will focus on the test field results, while also including other current (R&D, forecasting) and developing (energy storage) work being performed. Webinar participants will have the opportunity to submit questions following the speaker presentations. Utility webinar registrants will receive an extended “early-bird” special registration discount for the 2012 Utility Solar Conference (USC), where you will hear more from TEP! The pre-conference USC Solar Tour will include sites discussed on the webinar – and more! Information will be provided after the webinar. Speaker(s): Kim Kiener, Regional Director, Western US, SEPA (Moderator); Carmine Tilghman, Manager, Renewable Energy Resources, UniSource Corporation; Dr. Alex Cronin, Department of Physics, University of Arizona; Mike Leuthold, Atmospheric Sciences/Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona Cost: Free to SEPA Members and Media (subject to verification); $199 Non-members.

Target Audience: Utility executives; utility solar, policy and outreach staff; solar industry stakeholders in the utility market. ------------------------------------------------------ "Heating Up: The Impact of Third-Party Business Models on the U.S. Market for Solar Water and Space Heating" Thursday, March 01, 2012 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern. Estimated duration: 1 hour. Join solar market experts as they discuss key findings from SEPA’s recently published solar water heating report, “Heating Up: The Impact of Third-Party Business Models on the U.S. Market for Solar Water and Space Heating.” Unlike photovoltaic markets, which grew rapidly through the use of third-party ownership in both commercial and residential markets, solar water heating markets have yet to adopt a similar consumer-friendly model. The report discusses this paradox and identifies third-party business models used by solar thermal providers and the potential opportunities for growth in this market. This webinar will discuss the various financing models being employed for solar water heating nationally, and the best opportunities for rapid growth in the market. Speaker(s): Jill Cliburn, President, Cliburn and Associates, LLC; Sandra Burton, Regional Director, Eastern US, SEPA (Moderator) Cost: Free to SEPA Members and Media (subject to verification); $199 Non-members Target Audience: All utility and solar stakeholders working within or interested in solar water heating markets. ------------------------------------------------------
