Lease your land for a solar farm and maximize the value of your property
Enjoy reliable long term revenue streams with a partner who will be there for the life of the project.
About Navisun
At Navisun, we’ve worked with farmers across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and now the Midwest. We understand the unique challenges farmers face today, the opportunities solar development can bring for you and your families, and how to bridge this gap in a way that respects and values everyone in the process. We’re here to work with you.
Is a solar land lease right for you?
Typically, when developing community solar projects we look for a piece of land that is:
- At least 10 acres
- Flat and dry
- Within ¼ mile of 3-phase power
In an ideal world, the land will also run alongside three-phase utility lines. With that said, even if your land doesn’t check all of these boxes but you think it may still be eligible, reach out today.
What’s in it for you
Long term income
Even in uncertain economic times and changing landscapes, our landowner partners enjoy a reliable income stream that brings their families and businesses supplemental income for decades to come.
Long term partners
As the owners and operators of the solar project, Navisun will be with you for the long haul. When you pick up the phone over the next 40 years, it’ll be the same company on the other end of the line. No gimmicks, no changes.
No cost to you
As the owner and operator, Navisun covers the cost of development, installation, and decommission, including any additional property taxes caused by the installation of solar.
Land integrity
When the project reaches completion, we take full responsibility for removing the materials and bringing it back to the land’s original state. If for any reason the project needs to be removed earlier, there will be funds available to complete this.
Community solar
By enabling the development of a community solar project on your land, you can help your neighbors and community members save money on their electric bills and benefit from clean, locally-sourced solar power with no upfront costs to them.
Dual-use land
We build agrivoltaic projects that allow you to continue using land for agricultural purposes in addition to solar projects. Additionally, the solar panels are specifically designed to not contaminate the soil and we employ rigorous testing standards to ensure the soil is protected.
How it works
Navisun will need 90 days to complete initial development studies. The land owner will need to sign a Letter of Intent. This will trigger us to deploy development resources.
If the location passes the 90 day initial due diligence period, we will then work to complete a lease option on the property. The option is in place until construction starts. This option period typically lasts 1 – 3 years.
The project owner (Navisun) will maintain the solar farm for the entire project lifespan at no cost to the land owner.
Construction will begin once all local approvals, including the utility’s final approval, are in place and the project has been financed.
We will execute a long-term lease agreement with the land owner in order to begin the utility study process and apply for local permits.
