Solar

Agrivoltaics is the practice of using the same piece of land for both agricultural activities and solar energy production. This creates a mutually beneficial relationship between farming and renewable energy.

Both solar and wind energy offer a sustainable way to generate clean energy and decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. Overall, wind is a more efficient power source than solar. Wind turbines release less CO2, consume less energy, and produce more energy than solar panels.

Solar energy is rapidly growing as a key solution to our nation’s energy needs, yet misconceptions about solar farms persist. Many landowners and community members hold myths about their impact, efficiency, and long-term viability that simply aren’t true.

Understanding financial incentives can feel like learning a new language. Two terms you might hear often are carbon credits and tax credits. While they both offer financial benefits, they serve very different purposes and operate in separate systems.

Power Purchase Agreements are common in the context of renewable energy development, but understanding what they entail is a point of confusion among many property owners and real estate agents alike.

If you’re receiving annual lease payments from a solar developer, you might be sitting on more than just a steady stream of income- you’re holding an asset with real market value. Instead of waiting year after year for those checks to arrive, many landowners are discovering that selling their future lease payments can be a smart financial move.

Important factors that solar developers consider when evaluating properties for solar farms include acreage, proximity to energy infrastructure, clean energy incentives, and solar irradiance.

On average, solar leases pay $700 to $2,000 per acre per year without royalties. There are a few factors that affect solar lease payment value, like your property's proximity to energy grid infrastructure and land demand in your area.

Although some studies indicate a slight decrease in residential property values near solar farms, the overall effect is typically minimal and can be balanced out by other factors.

Installing electricity on rural land can be costly, often exceeding $10,000, influenced by proximity to existing utility sources, acreage, zoning regulations, and easements.

Renewable energy projects play a crucial role in reshaping the way land is valued, utilized, and developed, although the impact on land values is minimal.
