Is Your Land Suitable?

We look for sites that meet specific criteria for renewable energy development

📏 Size

Typically 10-100+ acres for solar farms, or 1-10 acres for battery storage facilities.

☀️ Solar Access

South, southeast, or southwest facing land with minimal shading provides optimal solar generation.

⚡ Grid Connection

Proximity to electricity substations and grid infrastructure improves project viability.

🏘️ Planning

Land outside of protected areas and with good planning prospects is ideal.

🚜 Land Use

Agricultural land of lower grades (3-5) is typically most suitable for solar development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to sell my land?

No. Your land remains in your ownership. We lease the land from you for the duration of the project (typically 25-40 years), after which it returns to you in its original agricultural condition.

How much rent will I receive?

Rental rates vary depending on site characteristics, size, and market conditions. We provide competitive rates that reflect the value of your land. Contact us for a confidential discussion.

What happens after the project ends?

At the end of the lease period, all equipment is removed, and the land is restored to its original agricultural condition at no cost to you.

Will I still be able to farm the land?

In many cases, yes. Solar farms can accommodate sheep grazing and wildflower meadows. We can discuss agricultural co-use opportunities during the planning phase.

Are there any costs to me?

No. We cover all costs associated with feasibility studies, planning applications, construction, and operation. You receive rental income with no capital outlay.
