State third-party-ownership compliance checker

Problem: Financing structures that work in one state are illegal in another — Florida bars third-party power-purchase agreements for behind-the-meter solar (fixed equipment leases are permitted under a 2018 commission ruling), a restriction that directly shaped how nonprofit projects there had to be financed. Developers entering new states routinely learn this mid-deal. Idea: A watsonx Orchestrate compliance agent that maintains a state-by-state map of third-party ownership, PPA, and lease rules for solar, validates a proposed deal structure against the target state's current rules, and flags structures that need redesign before contracts are signed. Value: Nonprofits and developers stop designing deals their state prohibits; compliant structures (leases, direct ownership) are chosen from the start.
