Ideal Landowner Partner Requirements

Grid Availability

The area’s electrical grid must have sufficient capacity to handle the additional power generated by the solar farm without requiring costly upgrades.

Proximity To Substation

Ideal land is close to 3-phase power lines, which facilitates easier and more cost-effective connection to the electrical power grid.

Land Condition

The land should be relatively flat, free of excessive shading and trees, and have stable soil that can support the installation of solar panels and infrastructure.

Local Solar Policy

Local regulations and incentives for community solar projects are available, as supportive policy can significantly influence project feasibility and profitability.

The Benefits Of Leasing Your Land

Leasing your land for a solar farm can provide a stable, long-term income stream, contribute to renewable energy production, and typically requires minimal landowner involvement once the project is operational.

Lease Your Land - Up To $5,000 Per Acre

Longterm Revenue Generation

Solar Land Leases typically last 30 years, meaning we’re committed to bringing clean energy to the communities we serve and also provider longterm financial reward to our partnered land owners.

At Matrix Solar Energy, we believe in long-term commitments, which means that when you enter into a solar land lease with us, you’ll be working solely with our team for the duration of the 30 year contract period.
