With the credit crisis and resulting economic woes making their way into the renewable energy industry, project financing all over the world is getting more difficult. In the U.S., many people are
concerned about the health of the tax equity financing sector, which drives much of the growth in the solar, wind and bioenergy markets. Edwin Feo, a tax lawyer with Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and
McLoy's Global Power, Energy and Utilities Group, joins us to talk about how a shake-up in tax equity financing will impact the industry in the coming years. Then, David Field, president of Open
Energy, talks about the company's building-integrated PV products and its relationships with roofers and construction firms. Field discusses the importance of building partnerships between solar
companies and traditional contractors to move the residential and small commercial solar markets forward. Finally, Rob Lamkin, CEO of Cool Earth Solar, describes the company's new concentrating PV
balloon. We'll talk about Cool Earth's efforts to scale up production in the coming year and make the device a household name in the industry. Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest in renewable
