  • Residential Solar Financing
    RESIDENTIAL solar Financing Strategic and legal support in the residential solar space The solar energy MARKET is rapidly expanding. Having the right counsel can be a competitive advantage. The new wave of solar power is on the residential rooftop, using the third-party solar lease or power purchase agreement model, shifting high upfront capital costs from homeowners to third-party investors. New renewable energy equity funds are being created to support the purchase and installation of millions of dollars in residential solar systems across the United States, which, if properly structured, benefit from federal, state, and local tax benefits, as well as other incentives. With large institutions viewing this as a smart, profitable and practical investment, we expect to see a uptick in the pace and number of increasingly, larger-scale residential solar- lease transactions. Nixon Peabody has been an integral part of this burgeoning industry and has led the way in developing key documentation and tax analysis. We regularly appear at industry conferences addressing these structures and we have been pioneers in combining multiple sources of capital in single transactions. Our depth of experience allows us to expeditiously handle residential solar funding projects requiring fast turnaround and to provide outstanding client service. We are one of the nation’s preemi- nent law firms in structuring and closing investments in tax credit and energy transactions, and we understand the complexities of the Energy Investment Tax Credit, cash payment in lieu of energy tax credits, New Market Tax Credits and partnership tax law. We are a leader in helping developers, owners, lenders, and investors leverage available resources to structure these powerful renewable energy tax credits and related tools in creative project financing structures.
