I have about 10 acres of land. Not much for a solar farm. But I have a company reaching out to me, asking if I am interested in leasing land. Is this a red flag? Seems like most companies want a lot of land.

[@laghaboutarfa8650]

Excellent information 👍

[@rickschuman2926]

Real estate and solar. Quite the recipe for an unpleasant outcome. Btw Do your land requirements call for keeping a large cashe of cash for when the EPA comes in 15 or 20 years to declare the site as an environmental hazard? Insurance will not cover that sort of thing.

I have 40 acres in the desert . How do I get a solar company to see if there is interest?

[@paradise6606]

Is it within two acres of a sub station? I know that's what was needed in my area.

[@paradise6606]

I have a company wanting to build a solar farm on my land.

[@JohnDoe-sk6wy]

$300 per acre per month? Per year?

[@kencarmack4934]

Per year

[@fireksunk]

That's not a good price $300 per acre is worthless price

Hey I live in Campbell County ,VA I'm under a option agreement with a company currently I will find out in the next few months if they are going to follow through on the contract. Scene I signed the option agreement I've had two more solar companies contact me. What are the odds of the solar company backing out? Thanks

[@CenterForEnergyEducation]

Many solar projects are experiencing much longer development timelines than in the past due to interconnection delays beyond their control. While there are projects that may not get built for a variety of reasons, if they have reached key development milestones (local zoning approval, state permit in hand, etc.) the likelihood of that happening is significantly lessened. We suggest you reach out to your developer and inquire as to the status of the project!

[@RameshPatel-vr8ip]

You want land for Soler plant in india

[@nataliesmylove7488]

I want acreage in florida!!!!! Who is selling ???? 100acre parcels + are preferred up to 1,000 acres !!! Ill buy it just so they can't contaminate our farm land with lead from these solar panels!!!! Looking for a homestead

[@edhuber3557]

So....2 years later. How many 100-&-1000ac parcels did you buy?

[@ugsisr]

What really bugs me is they usually sell the power to the higest bidder which is never close to home

Traitor

[@buckydoedowner7598]

Will 100% devalue your property.. nobody wants to look at that crap.

[@garethbaus5471]

Getting paid a steady income from your land for it being used in a way that doesn't necessarily prevent you from growing certain crops under the installation. Seems way more valuable than any aesthetic quality to me.

[@buckydoedowner7598]

ummmm ok... ya sure... i like turtles too

[@jaebee9308]

@@garethbaus5471 ???? You won't be allowed to grow ANYTHING under thier solar panels. That would violate the lease. Even if you could- how the eff would you get farm equipment in and around those arrays?!!

[@garethbaus5471]

@@jaebee9308 it is extremely situationally dependant, but some lease agreements and solar installations do allow for the production of certain crops such as no light products like mushrooms or forced rhubarb. Most solar installations don't even block all the light due to spacing needs for maintenance allowing for the use of the land for livestock or high value shade tolerant crops like cruciferous vegetables or strawberry's. If you can't grow anything under a solar farm you either didn't get a good deal with the solar company or aren't creative enough.

[@jaebee9308]

@@garethbaus5471 Aaah. Gotcha. Ok. Well the solar co we're dealing with is gonna kill all the grass under the array so they don't have to pay to maintain it. 🙄 They've also admitted that animals, birds and insects are a fire hazard at solar installations. So much for the claims coming from some solar companies that they can graze sheep among the panels. Oh! And the panels leak toxins when they are damaged so, I wouldn't eat anything grown under them. Yikes.

[@m01flores]

Can I use 20, 30, 40 acres of land? Or company's are looking for 100 acres and more?!

[@paradise6606]

30 or more usually. But can be less.
