To maximize the special tax benefits of solar (and wind) projects, investors and producers participate in complex joint ventures known as “partnership flip structures.” In this talk, Selling will explain the partnership flip structure and the unintended consequences for solar investment that can result.

He has led hundreds of management and professional education programs and advises public companies on SEC compliance, U.S. and international accounting standards, operational and strategic decision making, and control of international operations.
