Scope of Work

Use a Solar Project Agreement to allocate technical and commercial risk, create clear payment and milestone schedules, ensure compliance with permitting and interconnection requirements, and establish acceptance criteria and warranty obligations that reduce disputes and support financing, insurance, and long-term asset management.
Typical parties include project owners, independent developers, EPC contractors, installers, utilities, and financing lenders who manage project risk.
The agreement protects each party by defining deliverables, timelines, remedies, and signature authorities before work, permitting, interconnection, or financing begins.
