Solar PV lawyers | Renewable energy lawyers

From being a first mover in solar to having advised on over a third of all UK solar projects, we've been involved in some of the most innovative UK projects to date.

Acting for developers, funders, investors, local authorities, landowners and high profile joint ventures, our involvement in the sector spans commercial solar farms, domestic and commercial rooftop installations to newer technologies such as carport solar and multi-technology projects that look to combine solar with other assets such as battery storage and EV charging points.

We have also supported clients as they expand their market reach. For example, Blackfinch Investments on its first foray into renewables development – a 6MW subsidy-free solar farm - and Thrive Renewables on its first commercial rooftop solar initiative – Thrive joined forced with Olympus Power, developing a new financing framework which provides the funding for Olympus to install hundreds of commercial solar arrays.

Our team of experts provide cross-jurisdictional advice across the project lifecycle on both a single site and volume basis in relation to finance, real estate and planning (including the DCO process for solar), commercial, corporate, construction and private wire and commercial PPAs. We also have particular expertise in advising on the disposal and acquisition of portfolios of subsidised and subsidy-free operational, consented and pre-consented assets.
