Land Leasing for Solar Farms
Lease your land for solar on long-term, index-linked terms and receive a secure annual rent — with no cost, and full ownership retained.
Leasing land for a solar farm is one of the most reliable ways to diversify farm income. You grant a lease for an agreed term — typically 25 to 40 years — and receive a guaranteed annual rent that rises with inflation, while we fund, build, run and ultimately remove the solar farm.
It is a genuinely low-risk diversification: there is no capital outlay, the income is contractual and largely weather-proof, and the land returns to you at the end of the term. For many family farms a solar lease has become the stable foundation that supports the rest of the business.
Why it works
- Secure annual rent, index-linked to keep pace with inflation
- No cost to you — development and construction are fully funded
- You keep ownership; the land reverts at the end of the lease
- Income unaffected by harvest, weather or commodity prices
- Independent legal and land-agent advice always encouraged
Our process, step by step
Enquiry & appraisal
Tell us your location and acreage; we assess whether the land suits solar and what it could earn.
Heads of Terms
We set out rent, term, protections and break clauses in clear, plain English for your solicitor to review.
Option & lease
An option agreement covers the development period, converting to a full lease once the site is consented.
Rent & reversion
You receive index-linked rent through the term, then the land is reinstated and returned to you.
Frequently asked questions
How much rent could I receive?
Rents vary with location, grid value and land quality. We give you an honest, site-specific figure early in the conversation rather than a headline number that may not apply to your land.
Should I take my own advice?
Yes, always. We actively encourage you to instruct an independent solicitor and land agent. A fair deal stands up to scrutiny.
What about my mortgage or tenancy?
Lenders and any landlord interests are dealt with as part of the legal process. We are used to working with charges, tenancies and partnership structures.
Is the rent really fixed regardless of generation?
Most agreements pay a fixed, index-linked rent independent of how much the site generates, so your income doesn't depend on the weather or energy prices.
