The Jackpot etc LLCs seem to connect to an alias out of Nevada. There's various information on these entities in a variety of places but no one's put together a really complete picture. Here's some interesting background from three years ago: https://www.puc.idaho.gov/press/161007_IPCJackpotSolar.pdf https://www.puc.idaho.gov/press/161007_IPCJackpotSolar.pdf

That's not surprising -- those companies are all using their attorneys for registered agent services, and the law firm states that they specialize in energy companies -- both transactions and litigation. It appears that the developers of solar projects follow the same pattern of real-estate developers: each project gets its own LLC, which allows them to contain any potential liability for the project, as well as sell ownership interests in the LLC to raise the funds for the project. Per your linked article (and easily confirmable through public records), the Jackpot* series are all projects of Robert Paul of Alternative Power Development who has been quoted in the Idaho press about solar for the last decade.

  > each project gets its own LLC, which allows them to contain any potential liability for the project Interesting. That's a great idea for any fixed time + capital intensive projects. Keeps the structure, ownership, and responsibilities clean for a small amount of legal/paperwork.

    A lot of rental properties do the same. Each property is its' own LLC to minimize potential liability/risk.

      >Each property is its' own LLC to minimize potential liability/risk. The individual SVP structure for rental properties is primarily used to avoid land sale taxes. Sell the shares, not the building/land etc. to benefit from a different tax regime.

What point are you trying to make? Isn't it pretty common behavior for a developer to register individual LLCs for separate projects to minimize liability? And wouldn't it make sense for a solar developer to work with a law office that has experience with that particular regulatory landscape?
