Solar Resource Center

Overview

Solar development is booming throughout Ohio and the Midwest. Bricker Graydon has been there from the beginning. Our team has hands-on experience guiding solar developers through every project development phase. Our full-service solar practice group regularly advises clients on the following:

• Real estate matters, including the review of front-end real estate acquisition documents, local zoning matters, and financing due diligence
• Permitting matters before the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) and other state and local permitting agencies
• Negotiation of property tax abatements, state and local incentives, and payment in lieu of tax (PILOT) agreements
• Project finance, including the use of tax-increment financing (TIF) and OAQDA bond financing
• Regulatory guidance related to interconnection rules, processes, and policies
• Negotiation of power purchase and offtake agreements
• Disputes relating to the scope and/or validity of leases and easements

This resource center is designed specifically for developers trying to understand the processes, challenges, and opportunities relating to solar development throughout Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and the broader Appalachian and Great Lakes regions.
