Are you a commercial building owner or a land owner interested in solar and making extra money without investing anything? If so, then a solar site lease may be the right option for you.
A solar site lease is a lease agreement between a property owner and third party investor (i.e., solar installer, developer or financier). Solar panels are installed on the owner’s property (building or land) by the investor, and an annual negotiated rate is paid to the property owner. The property owner doesn’t pay anything for the solar array/installation nor does he use the power being produced on his property. The investor chooses an off-taker, or multiple, to consume the energy produced.
The energy produced by a solar site lease must be consumed by a chosen off-taker. This off-taker may be a business or home owner who wants to use solar energy, but doesn’t have the space or site for it, or a feed back to the utility (National Grid, Eversource, etc.). A separate agreement is made between the investor and off-taker that doesn’t involve the property owner.
Here is what you need as a property owner interested in a solar site lease:
