The Matchmaking. Now that I’ve been back in solar for three months it’s time to revive one of the original successes of SolarWakeup which was to open the communication dialogue and connect capital with project pipeline. There’s an insatiable need for energy and to deploy capital, so let me know what you’re looking for. Do you have a project ready for capital? Do you have capital looking for a home?
