Can LandGate tell me the values of my land for a solar farm?
Yes. LandGate provides your potential dividend for a solar farm. It is a valuation of your property’s worth in solar resources. The potential dividend for solar rights is derived using solar irradiance data, incidence angles, topography, distance to substations, electricity prices, government incentives, revenues, and cost of production in your area. To see your potential dividend, you can simply claim ownership of your property on our map.

What factors go into how valuable my land is for solar energy?
There are a lot of factors that go into what you will be paid when you lease land for solar energy, such as the size of your property, distance to nearest transmission lines and substations, topography, state and federal incentives, just to name a few. Additionally, the size of the project will have an impact. Larger utility scale projects could require 100 acres or more. Whereas small to medium scale projects could require 2 to 40 acres. Future needs for electricity in your area, ease of access to your property, and supply and demand for solar sites in your area also factor in. If your land has easy access to highways or farm to market roads, your solar rights value could increase.
