Top FAQs for Land Owners
Why do you want to lease my land?
We are always in search of land for new multi-acre solar array sites. To find out if your land can be a candidate we must walk through a due diligence checklist.
Can I use the power that is generated?
It depends... The power we produce is fed onto the local grid to serve the interconnecting utility’s customers. However, if the project is being developed as a community solar project, then you may be able to subscribe to source your power from the project once it’s operational.
Do I have any financial obligations?
None. We take care of everything. We pay for all expenses from permitting and studies to construction and maintenance.
How long is the land lease?
In most cases, the leases for our projects have an initial term of 20 years, plus options to extend for additional years if we are still able to sell power from the project. In total, together with the extension options, the overall lease term is usually 35 to 40 years. The project cashflows are typically much lower in the early years and we would like to continue to lease the property for as long as we can continue to produce power.
Is this a permitted/ allowed use?
Yes. We only develop projects where it is expected we can get a land use permit from the local permitting authority.
How much will I be paid?
The lease rates we pay vary based on location, anticipated solar production and project economics, and existing market rate lease values for other traditional uses. Regardless, we try to have our lease be the most competitive and favorable opportunity for you and your land.
