Katherine Ross and Bill Holley wrote a guest article in Bloomberg Environment on the importance of taking local and state nuances into account at the front end of solar developments. 

"Solar development continues in the Southeast and other parts of the country, whether through independent developers or traditional utilities," Katherine and Bill wrote. "As these entities move into new markets, it is important to pause and consider the state and local nuances that will impact the project, from land acquisition to zoning to permitting to financing."

"Across the board, developers can position themselves to navigate the entire life cycle of solar development successfully by focusing on the end of the cycle from the beginning," they continued.
