FAQs

How long does it take to develop and construct a solar farm?

Generally, for a 2-5 MW solar farm, the development takes 8-14 months. However, the development timeline largely depends on the utility company’s interconnection process and, local/municipal permitting and approval processes. Construction can take an additional 5-10 months depending on construction timing based on seasonal considerations.

Lease rates will vary depending on the state you live in and the cost of power within your local jurisdiction. Lease rates will also vary significantly based on the available solar program which the project on your land will be developed under. You can expect to be paid a significant premium to the current rentable value of the land.

Leases are executed with each property to provide reasonable access to the site during the project’s lifetime. Lease payments are provided by OYA to the property entities on an annual basis and are fixed over the term of the project. Regardless of system performance, the lease payments will occur as laid out in the agreement.

Typically, the average term for our land leases are 25 years but this can vary depending on the region and the project. We also may offer extensions which may be two, four, or five years in addition to the original lease term. While discussing the lease agreement with you, we lay out the terms and what happens at the end of the lease.

Live Energy Renewables will consult with the landowner to ensure that the visual impact of solar farm will be minimal. This is typically the single largest contention raised at municipal site plan approval meetings. We can incorporate natural buffers (such as a treeline) into our site plans to help mitigate any potential visual impacts. Generally speaking, solar systems are low-profile structures and typically do not pose a significant hinderance to visual sightlines
