Technical FAQs 4

Do solar farm agreements require landowners to sign over every acre?

Most solar farm agreements won’t require landowners to sign over every acre of their land. However, you DO want a clear idea of what land your developer needs to include in the initial agreement. This way, there won’t be any issues with your developer/site operator.

Should landowners pay for solar energy?

As with acreage payments, landowners should investigate the local “market” for rates and consider the most favored nations clause. Lastly, some solar energy agreements may provide for a “royalty” payment to the landowner based on the production of the solar equipment on his or her property.

Do solar panels affect farmland prices?

We find that the prohibition of solar panels on farmland decreases farmland prices by 21.8%. We find that the effect is heterogeneous which varies by land productivity. Photovoltaic or solar energy is recognized as a significant source of renewable energy on a global scale.

Can a landowner enter into a solar energy agreement?

Almost every solar energy agreement that contains an option will make the option “exclusive” which means the landowner cannot enter into any other agreement for solar development on the land (and perhaps any other form of energy development) during the option period.
