    008: Your network is your net worth, with Jeff Atkin of Foley & Lardner Jan 13, 2016
    Show notes

    Host Nico Johnson and Foley & Lardner Partner, Jeff Atkin. Join in as Nico and Jeff discuss how their mutual time serving in volunteerism in Latin America (in particular, Guatemala) has informed their professional decisions.

    We talk about the Horus solar project in Guatemala, one which Jeff’s team at Foley was responsible for structuring; if you’re unfamiliar with this project, it was the first major tender-awarded and utility-scale project in Central America, and it’s one of the largest in the region now at about 75MW AC.

    Jeff gives his opinion on lessons learned from that project, and what he admired about the way the developer approached the project with the end in mind.

    We discuss the power of initiative, and how he leveraged the power of a large organization to gain traction in an emerging industry, and subsequently, how Jeff has differentiated Foley among the pool of international firms that have a Latin America focus.

    And, Jeff confirms the not-so-secret fact that the “wealthy families” are almost always the entry point for finding the early stage opportunities and localizing good partnerships, while providing great tips on how to develop and care for your own network.

    We really hope you get massive value from this next episode of SunCast!

    Show notes

    005: Q&A with Nico - Episodes in Spanish, Conference planning, and finding good development partners Nov 17, 2015
    Show notes

    Host Nico Johnson takes some time today in this first Question and Answer episode to respond to some questions received from the audience the past few weeks.

    There are a lot of requests for whether the show will ever be in Spanish. The short answer is "maybe" and "it depends". Nico unpacks it a bit further.

    In our inaugural episode, there was quite a bit of data and market trend info shared between Nico and Adam James, and many really enjoyed this style approach for the show. We'll definitely be bringing more of this back, but Adam is moving on from his role at GTM, so the recordings have necessarily been put on the back burner as he makes this transition.

    Conferences are an important way to gain exposure to the players in any specific region, and Latin America is no different. Nico's been to, and spoken at most of the regional conferences, and takes some time here to highlight what he sees working.

    A common hurdle for someone entering into a new market is determining where and with whom they should partner. Nico shares some guidance on how you might go about making that decision.

    Finally, LACSA has been mentioned a few times on the 'cast, so Nico takes a moment to explain the reasoning behind it here.

    And, this Q&A tees up the Bonus Episode that you can listen to only on the SunCast website, which is our Live recording of the event we hosted in Anaheim during this year's Solar Power International (2015).

    002: Anatomy of a winning market entry strategy, with Marco Garcia of Nextracker Oct 13, 2015
    Show notes

    Host Nico Johnson and Nextracker COO, Marco Garcia, dive deep into Marco's global experience developing solar energy projects with Powerlight, SunPower, and now Nextracker as he has lived through multiple emerging market growth cycles.

We dig into exactly how they won some of the largest supply deals in the Latin America region, and what Marco has learned over the years about how to get in early and dominate a new market.

    The depth of solar experience demonstrated in today's show is perfect for young developers and sales engineers who are eager to learn tips and tricks from an old pro. From how to hit the ground running in a new country to key signs you're courting a winning prospect, Marco lays out some golden nuggets for the discerning listener.
