Read before you take a call.
Plain language on land, grid, options and storage. Not legal advice. Written for UK landowners, agents and origination teams.
Landowners
Can I rent my land for a solar farm?
What actually happens when a developer wants your land, what you should not sign on a first call, and how Land.solar keeps the file private until you choose otherwise.
Landowners
Is my land suitable for battery storage?
Battery energy storage is a different object to a solar farm. Smaller land, harder grid questions, and a different planning and fire-safety conversation.
Requirements
Solar farm land requirements
Usable area, shape, access, agricultural land, landscape and the 100 MW NSIP threshold — the actual screens, not a brochure.
Legal
Solar lease versus option agreement
The option is where most landowners actually live for three to seven years. The lease is the prize if planning and grid land. They are not the same document.
Grid
Solar farm grid connection, explained
Why grid access is now the bottleneck, what “readiness” means in the queue, and why Land.solar will not tell you a site has spare capacity.
