Solar

Archer has broad experience advising clients in the financing, structuring, construction, development and operation, investments and transactions of solar energy projects. In working with power generation developers, investors and financing parties, as well as with electric utilities, we have developed a broad understanding of the issues and challenges facing the industry, and know the business, its laws and regulations. Our work has helped bring together new and existing industry participants and has helped existing power generation participants broaden their involvement.

We assist clients in a variety of ways, including:

• Structuring solar transactions to facilitate tax credits and other federal and state incentive programs, including Solar Renewable Energy Certificates
• Financing solar projects, including debt financing, sale-leaseback arrangements, back-leveraging, financing receivables and Department of Energy loan guarantees
• Performing due diligence and structuring corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures and corporate and shareholders’ agreements
• Negotiating construction, supply and vendor contracts (including offtake, power purchase agreements and energy hedges) and operation and maintenance and servicing agreements
• Leading-related project development real estate transactions, including purchases and sales, permitting, siting, environmental matters and regulatory compliance
