What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs.

Customer ServiceIt’s common for certain solar and other renewable energy companies to set up multiple entities which are ultimately owned by a parent company or private equity group. As a result, multiple books and records may need to be set up and can get complex.
For solar and other renewable energy businesses, investment in fixed assets accounts for a significant part of the expenditure, for example, solar panels in the case of solar energy.
In a separate scenario, the newly set up project entity may be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under ASC 810, Consolidations, where the buyer of the solar and other renewable power would need to evaluate whether it has a variable interest in the VIE through the power purchase agreement.
This impacts most solar and other renewable companies and may involve a valuation specialist.
When assessing the accounting for a VPPA, a buyer should perform certain evaluations before others. First, it should determine whether it holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) that must be consolidated under ASC 810. Next, if consolidation is not required, it should evaluate whether the contract is a lease under ASC 842.
What Is a VPPA? Power purchase agreements (PPAs) are commonplace in the utilities industry and are a means through which entities can secure the future output of a power-generating facility for a contracted long-term period at a predetermined price.
