Land Origination Analyst
Working with PureSky has been much easier than I anticipated.
“We thought about several options for our land. We weren’t inclined to continue to farm it or sell it for development, so we decided that a solar farm was the best option. We all have to do our part to be environmentally responsible, and what better way to do so than hosting a solar farm?
Working with PureSky has been much easier than I anticipated. They’ve been professional from start to finish and are very responsive whenever I’ve reached out.
Overall, it’s been a positive experience, and if I was asked to recommend PureSky to another potential landowner I certainly would.”
– Bill Lanford
Landowner of the Elmbrook and Cedar Hill Solar Farms in New York
We would have had to sell the land for development if we didn’t have the extra income from hosting solar.
“I’ve been hosting solar for about a decade, because I think, environmentally, its the right thing to do. Solar is more beneficial than trees, and that’s a hard thing to take as a landowner, but I know I’m doing the right thing by hosting PureSky’s solar farm. We would have had to sell the land for development if we didn’t have the extra income from hosting solar.
PureSky has been a great partner. The local team they assigned us have been so personable, so concerned, and so interested in what people and the town care about. They live right next door, and that’s important. They’ve been so conscientious, thoughtful and caring. I’m just totally impressed.”

WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
Get The Facts On Land Leasing
What is a solar farm?
A solar farm is essentially a power plant that generates electricity from the sun and is typically located on a rather flat field in rural areas, giving rise to the name, ‘solar farm’.
Solar farms are typically ground-mounted and not on rooftops. Similar to how you would construct a large fence, foundations are inserted into the ground, racking installed on top, and the panels placed on the racking. The electricity goes directly into the local grid to provide clean energy to residents and businesses in the area.
Are solar panels safe?
Yes, solar panels are safe. Most panels installed on solar farms are silicon based and fully sealed. There are no hazardous materials that the land will be exposed to during the normal construction or operation of the solar farm.
Solar farms are more than just safe – they support local ecosystems and nearby agriculture by providing a refuge for local animals and through planting native, pollinator-friendly plants.
Do solar farms produce a lot of noise?
No, solar farms are quiet neighbors. The solar farm’s inverters produce a very low decibel sound during the day. At night, the solar farm does not produce power or sound.
How long does it take to develop and construct a solar farm?
From start to finish, it generally takes around 2 to 4 years from signing an agreement with a landowner to placing a solar farm in operation.
Development takes around 1 to 2 or more years and is a complex process that involves many stakeholders. The timelines for development depend on the utility’s interconnection process, and local permitting and approval processes. Construction can take an additional 6 to 18 months, depending on seasonal considerations.
