Is Hosting a Solar Project for me?
Landowners with large tracts of land can participate in community solar by leasing their land to host a community solar project. Leases can provide extra income to landowners by turning unused or underused land into revenue generation opportunities. Leases also provide a way to preserve the land for future use.
Landowners should always seek legal and tax counsel before entering into any agreement with a developer. Before entering any contract please visit energy.gov to review frequently asked questions. The Solar and Storage Industries Institute also recently released a guide explaining strategies for siting large-scale solar that you may find helpful.
SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) has published a Guide to Land Leases for Solar, which explains the basics for leasing land to a solar developer along with detailed explanations on questions to ask developers.
