2. Bill Becker, Incentives Advisors, which drafted much of Arizona's
solar incentive program
3. Roger Little, Spire Corporation, which provides business plans and

The event will be held on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at 7:00 pm at the
Embassy Suites hotel located at 1515 N 44th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008.
The purpose of the presentation is to educate investors, entrepreneurs,
solar manufacturing companies, large solar installation companies and solar
cooperatives on the millions of incentive dollars available in Arizona via
Senate Bill 1403, an actual business plan and turnkey solar manufacturing
package that are available for less than $10 million, and the dramatic
economic impact that would result from harnessing Arizona's vast wealth of
semiconductor talent and existing semiconductor manufacturing facilities
and transforming them into one of the leading solar manufacturing business
hubs in the world.
According to Bill Becker, CEO of Incentives Advisors, "SB1403 is a powerful
incentive package which will bring Arizona into the forefront of renewable
energy development."
The catalyst for the marketing of Arizona to potential solar manufacturing
companies was a law (SB1403) signed by Arizona Governor. Jan Brewer on July
10 that offers financial incentives to renewable-energy companies. It gives
those that open new headquarters and factories in Arizona as much as a 10
percent credit on their capital investment and as much as an 80 percent
discount on property taxes if they pay high enough wages and benefits.
