Is my land right for community solar?
Leasing your land gives you the benefits of bringing solar to your community (e.g., helping your neighbors cut costs on their energy bills, reducing carbon emissions, etc.) – all while generating guaranteed revenue and allowing you to maintain ownership of your property for future generations.
This is a great opportunity for landowners who:
- · Own at least 30 acres in California
- · Are utility customers of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) or San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)
Additionally, your property may also be a good fit if it meets the following characteristics:
-
- · On flat or low-sloping ground
- · Not in a conservation easement
- · Not in wetlands
What to expect
01
Reliable monthly income
As part of your lease agreement, you will receive a fixed monthly payment over the life of your solar project. This provides you with guaranteed, predictable income for 25+ years.
02
No maintenance required
Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions manages every aspect of the project, including construction, installation, ownership, operation and maintenance of the solar system. This helps to free up your time and resources for other activities.
03
Rest and recovery for your land
Solar farms have a minimal impact on your land, so you can rest assured your property is resting and replenishing its nutrients. After your lease ends, we’ll remove all equipment from your land, returning it to you with its topsoil ready for the next chapter.
