At Matrix Solar, we see more than just land; we see potential. We partner with landowners, developers, and communities to unlock the power of solar energy, fostering a sustainable future while honoring the integrity of your property and local environment. Our mission is to be your trusted guide on a rewarding solar journey, ensuring a seamless process and a positive impact for everyone involved.
For Landowners: A Partnership in Power
Your land is a valuable asset. By partnering with Matrix Solar, you can transform it into a source of clean energy and stable, long-term revenue without disrupting your life or legacy.
We understand that we are guests on your property. Our approach is built on respect for your ownership, privacy, and agricultural heritage.
- Financial Peace of Mind: You receive annual payments during the project’s development phase. We assume full responsibility for any increases in property taxes related to the solar project and handle all negotiations with local authorities. If you have an agricultural assessment, we will also cover any conversion-use tax increases incurred.
- Seamless Transition: We respect your timeline. Our agreements ensure farmers and ranchers have adequate time to harvest crops and relocate operations before construction begins.
- Minimal Impact: Solar projects are quiet and low-impact. Operations require minimal ongoing labor, and the land is not disturbed with hazardous materials. We also plant pollinator-friendly native grasses to enrich the local ecosystem. At the end of the lease, the land will be restored to its original condition, a commitment secured by a financial bond.
For Developers: Your Project, Realized
Matrix Solar is the ideal partner to bring your approved community solar projects to fruition. We offer competitive purchase agreements and comprehensive management, from initial financing to final operation, ensuring a smooth and successful project delivery.
Our end-to-end services cover every stage of development:
- Site Assessment & Project Design
- Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
- Financing & Construction
- Ongoing Operation & Maintenance
We work closely with you to ensure every project is optimized for financial success, completed on time, and within budget.
Community Solar: Powering Progress Together
Community solar makes clean energy accessible to everyone. It allows multiple participants in a geographic area to share the benefits of a single solar power system. Subscribers earn credits on their electricity bills for their share of the power generated, even if they can’t install panels on their property.
These projects offer solid financial returns for investors through stable revenue and government incentives while strengthening the local power grid and potentially lowering electricity rates for residents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
- Is my land suitable for a solar farm?
Many factors like topography, acreage, and proximity to power lines are considered, but none are absolute deal-breakers. The best way to know for sure is to consult with our development team for a professional assessment. - What happens to my current land use during development?
Your land use remains unaffected during the initial phases, though we may need occasional access for assessments. Once construction begins, only the leased area is impacted.
Construction & Operations
- How long does installation take?
Once all approvals are secured, construction typically takes 6–8 months, depending on the weather and time of year. - Will the project affect my home or neighbors?
We work with you to design a project layout that respects your home’s proximity. To screen the project from view, we can provide natural vegetative buffers like pine trees. The panels themselves are designed to absorb light, not reflect it, using anti-reflective coatings. - Is the site fenced?
Yes, a 7-foot, wildlife-friendly fence is required by the National Electric Code to ensure safety. We prefer using aesthetically pleasing deer fences over traditional chain-link options.
Financial & Legal
- What if I want to sell my land?
The lease is recorded with the deed and transfers automatically to the new property owner, ensuring a seamless transition. - What happens if Matrix Solar becomes insolvent?
The lease agreement requires us to post a bond from a reputable financial institution. This bond guarantees that funds are available to cover the costs of removing all equipment and restoring the land to its original state. - Can I still access mineral rights on the property?
Yes. We work with mineral owners and oil and gas operators to ensure that future exploration can be accommodated.
