ABSTRACT

This chapter is intended to provide the reader with a general background of certain legal terms and key documents commonly used in the development of solar energy projects. This chapter is divided into the following three sections: (I) Entering Into Business Negotiations, (II) Business/Deal Structuring Decisions, and (III) Project Development Considerations. However, these sections are not necessarily sequential. In other words, some of the points made in all three sections will be relevant in most, if not all, stages of project development.
