The Benefits of Leasing Land for Community Solar

Flyer-Bottom

Community solar offers farmers, ranchers, and landowners a reliable and sustainable revenue stream while preserving their land's agricultural heritage.

This flexible, small-scale solar development provides long-term financial stability by diversifying income without disrupting traditional farming practices. We work with landowners to agree to use a portion of their property for solar energy, allowing the rest of the land to be farmed just as it has been for generations.

It’s About Legacy

We take great care to ensure minimal impact on your land because we know it’s more than just land; it’s your legacy. Land can naturally regenerate under solar panels with sustainable land management and protection practices, like sheep grazing and pro-pollinator ground cover. And if you choose not to renew the lease, we ensure all land is restored to pre-construction conditions—ready to benefit the next generation.

Why Community Solar?

Security

Community Solar delivers the security of guaranteed, long-term revenue while enabling landowners to continue working the rest of their land as they have for generations.

Stewardship

We work closely with landowners to maintain the integrity of their land through sustainable land management and protection techniques.

Community

Leasing a property for solar development helps local communities meet their energy needs, create skilled jobs, and generate vital tax revenue.
