Best Practices for Solar EPC Contracts
“For a variety of reasons, the solar industry has experienced, and will continue to experience, record growth. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie, a global energy and chemical research company, the U.S. solar industry grew 43% and installed a record 19.2 gigawatts (GWdc) of capacity in 2020, a pandemic year. Wood Mackenzie further forecasts that the U.S. solar industry will install a cumulative 324 GWdc of new capacity over the next decade,” post Richard Reizen and Patrick Johnson in Gould & Ratner’s Publications.
“Additionally, as we wrote in a previous article, one key driver of the construction industry in 2021 and beyond will be the approval of President Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ plan. The plan is expected to include sizeable investments for infrastructure, manufacturing and clean energy projects.”
“Due to the anticipated demand for these types of projects in the coming years, particularly in the area of renewable energy, it is important to understand not only the benefits of clean energy but also best practices for solar construction contracts.”
