Meet the Women Closing Solar Deals [Special Episode From Wunder Capital]

Meet the Women Closing Solar Deals [Special Episode From Wunder Capital]

This week, we present an original podcast, brought to you by Wunder Capital.

Katie and Becca do a lot of solar deals. They're closing tens of millions in commercial solar projects every month.

Karen is an SREC trader and longtime real estate pro. She recently approached Katie and Becca with a complicated merchant solar project. The three of them worked hard to refinance the project -- and when it was all over, formed a deep relationship.

Katie Lynch is lead director of finance at Wunder Capital. Becca Gallery is the manager of business development at Wunder. And Karen Lichtin is the president of Cleanlight Power + Energy.

Despite their ability to do high volumes of deals, they often get the same reaction from men: "You are not what I expected."

Solar is more diverse than other energy sectors. But there are few women working on the business side of projects.

In this episode, talk with Katie, Becca and Karen about how they do deals, how gender dynamics play out in the solar industry, and why more diverse teams are good for business.
