Land Lease Agreement
Ameresco is seeking new parcels of land to lease for the development of ground mounted solar arrays. In exchange for use of your land and permission to build a commercial scale solar array, we may be able to offer guaranteed, attractive lease payments for 20 years or more. We have worked with several landowners and are seeking new parcels to develop this renewable energy source.
Ameresco will assess your land. If an agreement is made, Ameresco will be responsible for the development, permitting, design, and construction of a solar project. Ameresco or its financing partners will own the facility. In most cases, we will operate and maintain the solar facility. After the lease ends, the solar array would be removed and the land restored to its original condition.
