Our Projects


Clean energy from our projects is produced and consumed locally, reducing strain on the grid and lowering costs for all ratepayers. Each of our projects is approximately 1-2 acres, including the array footprint and surrounding easement area for shade setback and agricultural use. 


Our community-based projects improve the land through regenerative practices, including livestock grazing, agricultural production and biodiverse pollinator habitat.


Site Criteria


Our 2-acre solar projects power 50-80 Maine homes and can be built side by side on larger properties. Their small size allows connection to single-phase power lines, making them ideal for rural areas that typically can't host larger solar farms. We're looking for sites:

  • Within Central Maine Power (CMP) utility territory
  • With a minimum of 2 acres of cleared land
  • Within 500 feet of an existing power line
  • Accessible from the road


 Basic Lease Terms

  • 20 year lease term, with the option to extend to 40 years

  • Annual lease payments of $4,000 per project, escalated to match inflation

  • Landowners are eligible to host multiple projects

  • We develop, own and operate the projects

  • Decommissioning costs are funded through bond or other financial surety prior to commercial operation and the site is restored within 180 days of lease expiration


We're growing more than just clean energy

We're working to regenerate the land


We holistically design our projects to work with the natural landscape and improve the health of our soils – this could look like:


  1. Growing food for the local community
    Working with an existing land owner, or partnering with a nearby grower to produce fresh, local food to feed our communities.

  2. Supporting livestock grazing
    Bringing in grazing livestock such as sheep and chickens to naturally groom and maintain the site while providing them with nutrition, shade, and pasture.

  3. Providing pollinator habitat and cover crops 
    Introducing low-touch vegetation to foster healthy soils, encourage biodiversity and regenerate the land, such as pollinator habitat, cover crops, wildflowers and hay.

Our Process

  1. We evaluate your site 
    A member of our team will work with you to review the details of your property and determine if it's a good fit for a solar project

  2. Execute a lease
    If it's a good fit, we enter into a 20-year lease term (with options to extend to 40 years)

  3. Construction
    Our experienced, local Maine installation crew constructs and installs a solar project on your property. Our team will guide you through every step so you know what's happening and when.

  4. Commercial Operation
    We flip the switch! The project generates clean energy and sends it into the local grid. Our members subscribe to the project and save 10-20% on their annual electric costs

  5. Decommissioning
    At the end of the lease period, we decommission the project and return it to its original condition 

Lease Terms

We offer 20-year land leases with the option to extend to 40 years. Our annual lease payment is $4,000 per project, with payments escalating annually to match inflation. If your property is suitable for two projects the annual rent payment doubles to $8,000 per year — providing you with over six figures of stable, passive income over the life of the lease. Check out what this could look like for you below.

We need sites with at least 2 acres of open land.

If you refer a landowner, we will send a $500 referral payment to both you and the landowner when we sign a lease for the solar project site.

How It Works:

  1. Refer your friends, family, and neighbors: Fill out the form below, or call our team at (207)-358-8973 ext. 2. (If the landowner reaches out directly, make sure they mention your name!)
