Increasing numbers of landowners, including many farmers, are being approached to lease their land for large solar facilities. Others may be interested in leasing to a solar developer. It is important for anyone considering leasing their land to understand the implications of the leasing process.

Penn State Extension will hold a Leasing Your Land for Solar Energy Development webinar on February 23rd from noon to 1:15 pm.

As utility-scale and community solar projects are increasingly proposed across New York and Pennsylvania, greater numbers of landowners are being approached by land agents, working for solar companies, interested in leasing their land. With attorney Scott Kurkoski presenting on key solar lease terms, this workshop will give participants an overview that prepares them to more beneficially discuss leasing issues with developers and with the attorneys who would preferably advise landowners on specific leasing language before a lease is negotiated or signed.

This workshop will present
  • An overview of the typical steps that occur during the negotiation of a solar option contract and the underlying solar lease
  • General discussion on the main components of an option and lease agreement
  • A review of commonly offered financials and how they play out over time
  • Outline of general lease terms which a landowner should know before assessing leases they might be offered
