Make the most of your land
If you are a landowner considering leasing your land for a solar farm project, please read the below information and talk to us.
Why Solar?
Solar power is one of the most mature and cost-competitive forms of renewable energy generation
There is nearly 400GW of solar generation capacity installed worldwide – it is now a fact that solar is the fastest growing energy source globally
Continued falling costs and technology efficiencies mean that solar is now the first energy source that can be deployed without any financial support from the government
Benefits
Even large, utility-scale solar farms have a much lower visual impact than other forms of renewable energy (such as wind farms and geothermal power plants) and most often receive strong support from communities and local stakeholders
Solar farms benefit from being silent, relatively easy to install and requiring little on-going maintenance
Solar farms provide reliable and resilient energy locally, at a stable and affordable price. - all without disrupting the environment
Well-designed solar farms provide a secure energy source that mitigates climate change, enhances biodiversity and the local environment
Solar farms are an attractive alternative land use that can help to diversify your income stream. Leasing land to REPD for solar farm development brings a number of potential advantages:
-
Reliable, long-term rental income
We offer competitive lease terms which provide a long-term, inflation-linked revenue.
-
Shared land use
The solar panels only occupy about a third of the leased land area, leaving plenty of free grassland. In addition to rental income, it is possible to continue using the land to graze small livestock (such as sheep or poultry) or to grow crops on the solar farm site.
-
Diversification
Solar farms provide an excellent way of providing financial stability from your land by adding an income stream that is not linked to agriculture.
-
Enhancing biodiversity
Seeding areas within the solar farm with suitable vegetation (native plants, grass and wildflower mixes) enables small livestock grazing, bee keeping and native bird feeding, regenerative habitat restoration and topsoil improvement.
-
Transparent collaboration
Good communication and working with you the landowner is the route to our success. We engage you in the project design to help compliment and enhance the way you manage the land.
-
Supporting the local community
Help generate clean, reliable energy for your community, local businesses and yourself from low-impact, emission-free solar energy infrastructure.
-
All costs covered
REPD take care of all development costs. We will also refund reasonable third-party costs such as your lawyer’s fees.
