Join SEPA on Thursday, March 1 at 11am PST/2pm EST for a special webinar. Learn from 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 webinar will discuss this paradox and identify the third-party business models used by solar thermal providers and the best opportunities for rapid growth in the market.

Key takeaways will include:
• Why third-party ownership in PV markets hasn't directly transferred to SWH markets
• Four major financing models being used in SWH markets
• Financing barriers and opportunities to expanded SWH markets nationally
