No single federal statute sets solar decommissioning bonding. Some counties and states condition a solar land-use permit on financial security for removal; some land leases and power purchase agreements impose the same requirement privately between the developer and the landowner or utility. Because the obligee, the required amount, and the citation (where one exists) differ by project, this page does not advertise a single code section — enter the exact removal cost estimate and obligee name your own permit, lease, or decommissioning agreement specifies, and confirm both in writing with that obligee before you apply.
