Neil Hirst Imperial College London "This book is good for getting — and keeping — a job as a solar analyst." Francesco d'Avack Solar Analyst IHS Markits "A must-read for anyone interested in renewable energy and the energy transition." Read Full Review Jason Deign Jason Deign Associates S.L. Solar power has become big business, with $131 billion invested in 2018, up from just $11.2 billion in 2004 but down from $171 billion in 2017 as unit costs fell. New installed capacity grew from 1.1GW in 2004 to about 107GW in 2018, a steady rise as solar begins to compete with fossil fuels on cost and to be built in nearly every country. This is a book for the solar workers of the future, a business book for those without a business or economics background and those simply curious about major shifts happening in the world energy economy. Key financial, economic and technical concepts are interspersed with the history of the first decade of cheap solar power, and the author's experience of being part of a successful startup in the clean energy sector.

Jason Deign
A must-read for anyone interested in renewable energy and the energy transition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2019
Format: Paperback

As the head of solar analysis at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Jenny Chase is undoubtedly one of the most influential people in the solar industry today. Don't let her impressive credentials put you off, though. In Solar Power Finance Without the Jargon, Chase delivers an impressive primer on the solar sector in a style that is easy to understand and often downright entertaining. Billed as "a useful introduction to finance ... for people with ... an interest in energy technologies," this book is packed with useful data and unique insights and is a worthwhile purchase for the interested layperson and industry expert alike. I personally was picking up new knowledge after just a few pages, even though I've been reporting on the solar industry for the last decade. Thoroughly recommended.

clearly written introduction to the economics of solar finance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2019
Format: Paperback
The author wears her learning lightly, providing a first rate introduction to the subject, along with a wealth of detail on solar finance over the past twenty years, coupled with anecdotes in respect of he own career at New Energy Finance, now Bloomberg NEF. I came away much better informed as to the macro picture - solar vs other energy alternatives (Renewables and other), along with a better idea of the factors affecting individual solar financing opportunities.

The place to start your solar finance education
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2020
Format: Paperback
Working in solar energy as a CEO, this is a book I recommend to our investors and have given to our employees. It lays out the basics of solar finance and energy math in an understandable way, gets you up to date on solar energy history and gives a great overview of business models. Recommended.

Informative, detailed, delightful
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2019
Format: Paperback
This is a really lovely book about an important topic - how you get from a usable technology to a system deployed across the planet, and the hydrology of capital when dealing in quantities large enough to rebuild industries and reshape landscapes.

The author’s voice shines through on every page.

A must read for anyone who wants to work in solar
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2019
Format: Paperback
The book reflects on how solar photovoltaic systems evolved from a niche industry, established to power satellites in space, to a mature gigawatt-scale industry. The author does this by incorporating her personal experiences in the industry, which makes it entertaining to read. A must read for anyone who wants to work in solar or recently started doing so, like myself.

Really useful book, very well written but not really about finance and investment
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2019
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. Brilliantly written, easy to digest complex topics and packed with personal anecdotes that give a good perspective on how the market has developed. That said, I really missed the finance! I was hoping for something that gave me a better understanding of debt, equity, investment, bonds and complex topics I’m trying to learn about like LCOE, IRR, energy trading and so on.

Excellent overview.
Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2020
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is one of the best overviews of the solar power industry that I have come across. The writer really knows her stuff! I expected a deep dive into the technology, the jargon, the industry and the finances. What I didn't expect was to be so thoroughly entertained. Yes, entertained. The writer does a masterful job of holding the reader's attention while a the same time laying out a sophisticated, granular timeline of the industry's developments, its successes, its challenges and its potential. Yes, this is a great reference work. But it is more than that. I hope this book reaches a wide audience. It is an important subject at a time when understanding the energy transition is more critical than ever.
