Community Solar farms are sized for 5-10 acre parcels. Utility-scale solar developers look for properties of 30+ acres. Generally, every 2 acres of a solar farm generates 1 MW of capacity.

Not all of the land can be used for installing solar panels. Some communities require a buffer zone and areas may need to be set aside for operations. In addition, other exclusions factor into “buildable acreage”. Topography, waterways, and wetlands are just some of the exclusions. Clearing the land of trees and other obstacles is a cost consideration when valuing a parcel.

Ideally, the land is within 1,000 feet of Three Phase Power with easy road access. Utility interconnect fees are higher the further away your land is from the electrical grid. Having a substation within 3 miles is preferred.

Many factors determine land value. A property evaluation that considers location, topography, local utility and other factors is required to fully assess an opportunity. Contact us for a written proposal.
