LEX HELIUSStoel Rives LLP, a U.S. business law firm, released its third edition of its solar energy guide, in English and Chinese. Titled Lex Helius: The Law of Solar Energy, the guide is part of a series of books published by Stoel Rives that provide developers, investors and lenders with a general overview of the legal issues encountered in a typical renewable energy project. Lex Helius reviews issues such as real property procedures, regulatory and permitting requirements, interconnection issues, power purchase negotiations, financing, taxes and construction contracting.

Given the rapidly evolving business and regulatory environment, we wanted to provide our readers with the latest insights our solar energy professionals have to offer.”
Updated topics include incentives and tax features, financing structures, market conditions, permitting requirements, power purchase procedures, construction contracting, state and federal regulatory structure, and RECs and REC markets.
