Why Should You Lease Your Land?

Leasing your land for solar guarantees a payment stream for the duration of the project's lifetime. Many landowners consider this to be an excellent opportunity to extract recurring income from the property they intend to keep in their family for generations.

Upon completion of the project's lifetime and the decommissioning process, the property is returned to the landowner in good condition ready to be farmed or developed as you see fit.
