Banking on Solar Host

What do you call someone with a graduate degree in mechanical engineering, 13 years of experience advising businesses on marketing strategy, and a previous software startup founder? Confused? Let's try Energized.

I created Banking on Solar podcast because I’m one of those people starting as an outsider in renewable energy development and working on moving to insider status. We’ll learn together with the interview guests. My goal for the podcast is to be a resource for professionals new to the solar industry so they get up to speed quickly on financing solar projects. It’s also a resource for experienced professionals seeking to tap into an increasing network of project financing stakeholders across the US and the world.
