FAQs

Solar development takes time and contains risks that are absorbed by the solar developer nearly exclusively for the first several years of development. We assume project risk and pay landowners non-refundable Option Payments for those first years to both incentivize landowner participation, while realistically not guaranteeing that all projects will be built. The team has every intention of building each and every project we start, but the reality is, that sometimes we need to cancel an agreement if we meet a fatal flaw in a site. The landowner then keeps any payments up to that date, and the developer walks away with a manageable cost and lives to develop another day.
We do offer Leases in certain circumstances and are dependent on the specifics of your property and other project details. Leases are cancelable, and as stated above, the team has every intention of building each and every project we start, but the reality is, that sometimes we need to cancel an agreement if we meet a fatal flaw in a site. The landowner then keeps any payments up to that date, and the developer walks away with a manageable cost and lives to develop another day.
You may read an article that says how much a solar lease should pay, or browse about how much your land is worth on Zillow, but valuing land is very complex; it is both art and science. If land sells for $150K per acre in town, does that mean your rural land is worth the same? Most folks agree that land value is linked to the old real estate adage, location, location, location, but that’s just the start of it. As with any market, there are many inputs that determine the price of an offer. Some of those inputs include your location, appraisals, market comparables (both sales or leases locally), improvements on the land, access to rights like water, minerals, or roadways, the price of power at the time, the value of crops at the time, the cost of development at the time, macroeconomic conditions, the value in the mind of the landowner and to the developer. At the end of the day, all prices are subject to many considerations and are a mix of all of the above and more.
Annual Income/Cap Rate – $1000 annual income at 7% Cap rate: 1000/.07=$14,286 sale price
Yes, we can cover the taxes on "Land Improvements."
The project will be insured by the developer. The developer indemnifies the landowner against liability from injuries incurred on their land with regard to the investigation period and subsequent pre-operation and operation period
We want all of our partners to thrive and our landowner partners are vital. We never low-ball. We have done lots of work to ensure that we are offering great prices to landowners. But if our best and final offer just doesn’t meet your expectations, then that’s ok with us. All solar projects need to be profitable, and despite the large scale of utility solar, the margins are very thin, and we will never offer beyond what the project can bear.
