Solar Leasing for Competitive Rates

A solar farm is an array of photovoltaic panels that convert the suns energy into electricity. They are placed in large areas ideal for capturing solar energy, on land often leased from local landowners and farmers.

Solar farms are the backbone of any community solar program, and may be also referred to as solar gardens, photovoltaics, power stations, or arrays. They are essentially power plants that generate electricity from the sun and are typically located on a rather flat field in rural areas, giving rise to the name, ‘solar farm’. 

While sometimes building solar farms requires alterations to the natural landscape, the long-term environmental effects of renewable solar energy have a positive impact on the environment.

Building a solar farm can sometimes require alterations to the natural landscape to ensure optimal efficiency. However, PureSky Energy always carefully assesses these impacts and weighs them against the long-term environmental benefits of solar farms. Solar farms help the local grid reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, significantly lowering air pollution and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable environment. 

PureSky plants pollinator-friendly and indigenous vegetation underneath and around the panels to promote the health of the surrounding ecosystem. 

Usually, the field is leased from a farmer for 20 to 30+ years and is a small portion of their total land. The income from leasing their land helps farmers diversify their revenue 
streams, maintain operations, or even keep the farm in the family. Smaller community solar farms can also be found on rooftops, in parking garages, or other public structures, but this is less common.
