Greenfield solar development investors collect continuous cash-flow from their property and own real estate in fee simple. Like traditional real estate investment, landowners capture land appreciation (approx 3-5% per year) and earn rental income. Solar generating facilities are the easiest tenants imaginable – good credit, stable income, long-term leases, and a healthy market for their energy. Once constructed, there is little to no risk of failure, meaning landowners can rest easy, knowing their quarterly check will be delivered on time for years. And, because investors hold the deed and the lease is fully transferable, landowners can sell and cash-out to another investor anytime.
Typically, a land investor could expect to buy land in an operating solar farm for a 6-7% ROI, and greenfield investors can buy land at a 15% ROI.
