Overview
It’s a developing trend: Landowners are increasingly approaching lawyers for advice on solar leasing and option contracts.
This program examines a range of associated issues from both a solar developer and landowner’s perspectives, including:
- Lease terms and conditions
- Siting requirements
- Project de-commissioning
- Structuring the financials which are unique to a solar contract
- Risks in solar lease options and agreements affecting the landowner
Breaking down the lease: Options and agreements are examined within the context of case studies.
The panel will focus on select lease options and lease agreements to illustrate major contractual terms affecting the landowner, including financial and legal liabilities, estate planning, decommissioning, transferability of the lease agreement to new project owners, lease payment schedules and other contractual issues.
