This webinar will discuss the valuation of solar generation assets, including both an overview of relevant valuation theory as well as the specific applications of valuation techniques to this asset class. We will review the use of the cost, market, and income approaches as specifically applied to today's solar energy assets.
Valuations frequently are driven by financial structuring considerations, tax and accounting issues, and economic considerations; these topics will be addressed in detail. There will be time for a live discussion where participants can ask questions of the presenter via text chat.
