SUMMARY:What it takes to Win in Solar Sales
DESCRIPTION:This session breaks down what it actually takes to win in solar sales today\, drawing from over 30 years of sales experience and more than 15 years in the solar industry across racking\, storage\, and balance of system products. Rather than focusing on theory or product specs\, this presentation centers on how top performers consistently close business by mastering conversations\, positioning value\, and moving with speed.\n\nThe session will cover key sales categories including differentiation\, customer engagement\, lead follow up\, and closing strategy. Subtopics include how to uncover real customer pain points\, how to translate technical features into financial and operational value for installers\, how to manage distributor relationships\, and how to maintain momentum through disciplined follow up. Attendees will also learn how to adapt their approach based on different customer profiles and how to sell in uncertain or slower market conditions.\n\nThis session is most relevant for solar sales professionals\, account managers\, and business development leaders working with installers\, EPCs\, and distribution partners. It is especially valuable for those selling hardware\, storage\, or BOS products where differentiation is often difficult and competition is high.

SUMMARY:Partnering with PNW Tribes on Renewable Energy for Shared Success
DESCRIPTION:Tribal nations across the Pacific Northwest possess some of the region’s most significant untapped potential for renewable energy development. However\, realizing this potential requires navigating a complex intersection of sovereign rights\, historical land use\, cultural preservation\, and unique financial barriers. This panel brings together leading voices in PNW Tribal governance\, project development\, and green finance to provide an actionable roadmap for co-developing solar and storage projects with PNW Tribes. Moderated by David Harper of Native-owned Huurav Energy\, the discussion will move beyond theoretical equity to focus on the concrete mechanics of equitable partnerships: sustainable siting that respects cultural resources\, inclusive project design\, and innovative capital stacking that bypasses federal bottlenecks to ensure Tribal energy sovereignty.\n\nWhy This Panel Matters Now:\nAs Oregon and Washington aggressively pursue their clean energy targets\, developers and utilities are increasingly looking toward Tribal lands. Yet\, traditional development models often fail in Indian Country due to a fundamental misunderstanding of sovereign risk\, treaty rights\, and community priorities. Furthermore\, with recent shifts and delays in federal grant funding\, reliance on traditional government capital is leaving critical infrastructure projects stranded. This session bridges the knowledge gap. Attendees will hear directly from Tribal leadership (Bobby Brunoe) on what true co-management and respectful siting look like\, while Tribal energy financing partners and experts (Phoebe Thums\, Eli Leiberman) and community project advocates (Eriq Acosta) will describe how Huurav\, Craft3\, Washington Greenbank and Native CDFIs are working together to jointly finance these projects.

SUMMARY:Turning Conversations into Commitments: How to Win Deals Without Feeling Sleazy
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, the idea of “selling” sparks discomfort. It can feel like pushing\, persuading\, or—worse—manipulating. But consultative engagement isn’t about convincing someone to buy something they don’t need. It’s about having a structured\, respectful conversation that uncovers needs\, explores fit\, and builds genuine trust.\n\nThis session is a practical\, confidence-building workshop designed for people who don’t typically come from a sales or marketing background\, but still need to win support for their work. During our time together we will break down the sales conversation into clear\, manageable steps so you can guide discussions with decision makers without feeling like a "salesperson".\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nHow to Structure the Conversation\nDivide your time into three equal parts—discovery\, pitch\, and next steps—so every engagement has flow and purpose.\n\nSimple Discovery That Works\nLearn to start the conversation with simple questions to naturally build rapport and an understanding of your prospect’s situation.\n\nWhat to Include in Your Pitch\nDiscover the essential elements that make a message clear\, relevant\, and memorable—without overwhelming your audience.\n\nClosing with Confidence\nMove from conversation to qualification and next steps using the BANT framework (Budget\, Authority\, Need\, Timing)\, so your meeting ends with clarity instead of amibiguity.\n\nWhy Attend?\n\nYou’ll learn a repeatable framework for introductory sales conversations that build trust and save time.\n\nYou’ll feel more confident connecting with decision makers without “selling” in the stereotypical sense.\n\nYou’ll gain tools that make discovery and pitching feel natural\, even if sales has never been part of your job.\n\nYou’ll walk away ready to approach your next client or stakeholder conversation with clarity and calm.\n\nThis isn’t about becoming someone you’re not. It’s about using a consultative approach to share your expertise\, understand real needs\, and open doors to meaningful opportunities.\n\nLet’s go from avoiding sales to owning the conversation. Your story deserves to be heard."

SUMMARY:Slow Down to Go Faster: Strategic Planning for Solar Companies
DESCRIPTION:The solar industry moves fast — but speed without direction leads to chaos. Too many solar companies are so consumed by fulfilling orders\, chasing innovation\, and responding to market shifts that strategic planning never makes it onto the agenda. The result: misaligned priorities\, unclear roles\, wasted resources\, and businesses perpetually reacting rather than leading. This workshop offers a different path.\n\nThis interactive workshop introduces solar industry leaders to the strategic planning process through a live\, facilitated role-play. Participants will witness — and engage with — a mini planning session built around a realistic industry scenario\, using a "fishbowl" format in which volunteers work through the process in real time while the broader audience observes and reflects.

SUMMARY:Domestic Content and FEOC Compliance
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore the evolving landscape of Domestic Content requirements and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) compliance\, and how these factors are increasingly shaping project financing and procurement decisions. As policy and incentives continue to drive demand for compliant products\, understanding how Approved Vendor Lists (AVLs) are constructed—and how to influence them—has become critical for installers and developers alike.\n\nThis content is most relevant for residential installers transitioning into commercial markets\, EPCs\, project developers\, and solar professionals responsible for procurement\, finance\, or project design. It is especially valuable for companies navigating new compliance requirements while trying to maintain competitiveness and profitability.\n\nAttendees will gain a clear understanding of how Domestic Content impacts financing outcomes and why early engagement with finance partners is essential. They will learn how to advocate for broader AVL inclusion to avoid unnecessary project constraints. Additionally\, the session will highlight practical pathways for residential installers to scale into commercial applications\, including how integrated racking solutions can simplify design\, improve installation efficiency\, and support compliance goals.\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be better equipped to align product selection\, financing strategy\, and compliance requirements—while identifying new opportunities to grow their business in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.\n
