The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) has finalized its monthly phone seminar series for the first half of 2009, covering topics ranging from utilities and solar tax credits to feed-in tariffs to the reliability of photovoltaic systems.

The live courses, which will begin at 11 a.m. Eastern (U.S.) time, feature a 40-45-minute presentation from solar industry experts, followed by a 10-15-minute Q&A session for audience participants.
