Sol-REIT Founder Jim Spano is used to being out front, creating markets and products ahead-of-their-time and being a point person for the industry and a vocal advocate in the halls of State Houses throughout the Eastern US. Jim helped develop the solar market in the mid-Atlantic region — and after bumping into numerous issues getting projects financed, he's bringing a new innovative product to market: Sol-REIT is a unique solar financing platform — one designed to put more money in developers' pockets.
