Leasing Your Land for Solar
Is Community Solar Right for Your Land?
Leasing your land for community solar is a win-win proposition. Community solar leasing offers long-lasting and substantial income for four decades that can be passed down the generations.
Beyond the benefits to you and your family, youโll also be a community hero, boosting the local economy and helping to reduce electricity costs and improve energy independence for your neighbors.
For agricultural land, it’s an opportunity to let fields rest and regenerate. We take it a step further by establishing pollinator habitats that support local ecosystems, benefiting birds, bees, and butterfliesโessential for all agriculture. Some projects even incorporate innovative land-use practices like sheep grazing for vegetation management.
And of course, your land will be generating clean energy, playing a crucial role in building a sustainable future for generations to come.
What Properties Meet Community Solar Farm Requirements?
We look for properties near existing power lines to simplify grid connection. A gentle slope is ideal, allowing panels to soak up maximum sunlight with ease. While fewer wetlands are preferred, we also have options to set up floating solar panel arrays on suitable bodies of water. And brownfields can be ideal locations for community solar farms, too.
We’re always finding creative solutions to turn your land into a clean energy powerhouse, so make sure to reach out no matter what. Weโre happy to talk and find out if we can make it work!
Considerations for Landowners
Lease Agreements
Our agreements outline lease duration, payment terms, land use restrictions, access rights, and more, protecting both your interests and our investment.
Timelines & Duration of Project
While each project is unique, the development and construction process often takes 24-36 months from initial agreement to operation. The lifetime of the project is typically 25-40 years, providing you with long-term, stable income.
Costs
Chaberton Energy and our partners cover all project development, construction, and operational expenses.
Permits & Approvals
Chaberton manages all permitting and approval processes, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Decommissioning Process
At the end of the project’s life, your land will be restored to its original use. This involves removing all equipment, recycling or responsibly disposing of materials, and returning the soil to its pre-solar state.
