Just as oil and gas came to the forefront of energy development in Southwestern Pennsylvania in 2008, solar energy has now entered the scene as an alternative form of energy. Solar companies are now approaching Southwestern Pennsylvania landowners with solar leases to place solar facilities on the surface of their properties. When that occurs, you need a skilled and experienced attorney to review and negotiate the solar lease on your behalf. Attorney Brandon K. Meyer has experience negotiating solar leases on behalf of surface owners. His representation involves reviewing the solar lease, negotiating its terms, making the appropriate modifications thereto, and meeting onsite if necessary. Attorney Meyer knows the going rates of landowner compensation and can make the right modifications to protect your rights as the surface owners. At this point, it is unknown whether solar energy will become a focal point of energy development in Southwestern Pennsylvania. However, solar energy companies are making their energy plays right now leasing large numbers of acres for their operations. If you are contacted by a solar energy who is seeking to construct a solar facility or perform any solar operations on your land, give Meyer Law Office P.C. a call to learn how Attorney Meyer can protect your interests.
