Developing solar projects that serve the rural American Southeast with solar & storage solutions

Landowners

 

EnerWealth identifies properties of landowners who hit the sweet spot for project eligibility based on site conditions, proximity to interconnection, orientation, and topography. Once a landowner expresses interest, pre-development due diligence can begin. Developing a project takes time, but EnerWealth does all the heavy lifting!

Permitting, zoning approvals, project layout, financial models, interconnection and more are all done by a development team with years of experience. Information will be provided to the landowner outlining the process and an Option to Lease issued, along with an Option Payment so you can start bringing in $$$ before the project construction is even complete!

 

Sample Project Timeline

What is the Process of Leasing my Land for Solar?

1) The first step is to review site conditions and conduct a legal assessment of your property. This involves investigating matters related to your land such as zoning regulations, ownership status, mineral rights, easements, tax abatements, and title restrictions if any. This process could take several weeks.

2) Following a favorable initial review, we will sign a Letter of Intent or an Option to Lease agreement with you. A sequence of technical and environmental evaluations will then be initiated which are known as interconnection electrical and civil site studies. Depending on the land's size, this process may take up to 18 months. During this period, you are free to utilize your property, and any income generated from it is yours.

3) Upon completion of all studies, obtaining full financing for the project, and resolving any pending permitting and zoning matters, the construction process will commence. The construction period may vary based on the project's size and may extend up to another 12 months.

4) Upon completion of construction, the solar farm will begin producing electricity for a period of 25-35 years. The site will be monitored by a small on-site staff consisting of one or two individuals, and occasional service personnel may be required for maintenance purposes.
