Are you a landowner interested in turning your property into a source of sustainable energy and income? Hosting a solar farm with PureSky Energy can be an excellent opportunity to contribute to a cleaner future while generating revenue. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you understand the process and get started with PureSky Energy.
Step 1: Assess Your Land’s Potential for a Solar Farm
Before beginning the partnership process, it’s essential to evaluate whether your land is suitable for a solar farm. Ideal properties typically have:
- Adequate sunlight exposure: Open, unshaded areas with consistent sunlight.
- Ample acreage: Solar farms usually require several acres of land.
- Proximity to grid infrastructure: Being near power lines and substations reduces the cost and complexity of connecting the solar farm to the grid.
If you’re unsure about your land’s potential, don’t worry—PureSky Energy offers a complimentary site evaluation to determine its feasibility for solar development.
Step 2: Submit Your Interest to Host a Solar Farm
Reach out to PureSky Energy by filling out an inquiry form on our website or contacting our team directly. Provide essential details about your property, including location, size, and current use. This information helps PureSky’s experts understand your land’s potential and begin the initial assessment process.
Step 3: PureSky Assesses Your Parcel for Feasibility
After receiving your inquiry, a team of experts will complete a thorough desktop assessment to determine the feasibility of developing your land for solar that may include the following steps.:
- Geospatial Analysis: In this first step, we analyze the elevation and slope, land use, vegetation cover, and existing infrastructure. The ideal land for solar is flat or gentle slopes.
- Land Use and Zoning Analysis: We assess if the zoning will allow solar development, verify land ownership records, and check for any environmental restrictions, such as wetlands or conservation areas.
- Solar Resource Assessment: Measuring solar exposure gives us understanding of the site’s potential. We examine irradiance data and identify potential sources of shading from nearby structures or natural features.
- Grid Connection: We analyze the grid capacity and identify the nearest substations and transmission lines to evaluate the cost of connection. Ideally, the land is in close proximity to grid infrastructure as well as roads.
We usually won’t need to complete a site visit to ensure your land meets the technical and economic criteria for hosting a solar farm, but in some cases this may be necessary.
Step 4: Review the Proposal
If your land is suitable, PureSky Energy will present you with a detailed proposal. This document will outline:
- Lease terms and financial benefits.
- Project timeline and development stages.
- Environmental impact considerations.
Take your time to review the proposal and address any questions or concerns with our team. This stage is crucial for ensuring you’re comfortable with the partnership terms.
Step 5: Sign the Agreement
Once both parties agree on the terms, you’ll sign a lease agreement with PureSky Energy. This agreement specifies the duration of the lease, your compensation, and the responsibilities of each party. PureSky takes care of all permitting, construction, and maintenance costs, so you can enjoy a hassle-free experience.
Step 6: Watch the Development Unfold
With the agreement in place, PureSky Energy will handle the solar farm’s design, permitting, and construction. We work to ensure minimal disruption to your property during this phase, ensuring that your daily activities can continue as usual. During the development phase, you can still use the land for compatible purposes, such as grazing or other low-impact activities, allowing you to maximize its potential. Once operational, the solar farm will generate clean energy, and you’ll start receiving your lease payments.
Step 7: Enjoy Long-Term Benefits
Hosting a solar farm offers long-term financial and environmental rewards. You’ll benefit from a steady income stream while contributing to renewable energy production and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, PureSky Energy handles ongoing maintenance, ensuring the solar farm remains efficient and trouble-free.
Wherever possible, PureSky prefers to use local contractors to handle maintenance and vegetation management.
