State and federal governments are investing millions of dollars in America’s energy future through numerous complicated and quickly changing programs offering incentives and tax deductions to renewable energy technology adoption by companies across the country. In New York, the vast majority of that money is focused on developing solar power, and that creates revenue and savings opportunities for companies with vacant parcels, large rooftops, and open spaces that can be used to capture the sun.
The way such projects are financed, developed, and ultimately benefit the landowner can be confusing, and comparing opportunities can be impossible without understanding the technology, economics, and incentives driving them.
Join Harter Secrest & Emery and Power Management for a webinar that will address:
- On-site solar and electric vehicle project details
- State and federal monetary incentives
- Economic benefits of different types of solar projects
- Solar project considerations
- Off-site solar options, including net metering and subscriptions
- Hosting solar projects
- Revenue structures for solar projects
- Legal and negotiating points when interacting with subscriptions and developers
