Foley Partner James T. Tynion, III will moderate the panel discussion on “Market Consolidation and M&A” on March 25, 2009 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. at the Solar Power Finance & Investment Summit.
A number of market trends are likely to drive an increase in solar M&A activity in 2009. With the IPO market closed, some market players may look to M&A as exit strategy. Integration strategies are also likely to be a prime driver as equipment companies and developers in the commercial markets look to solidify supply chains or as technology companies and deep–pocketed strategics or financial institutions combine to develop the utility scale market. This panel will discuss the prospects for solar M&A and discuss how consolidation is likely to play out.
