Why Lease to a Community Solar Project?

If you own a large rooftop, parking lot, or field, you may be sitting on one of the most valuable assets in the clean energy transition. Rivertown Solar helps landlords turn underused space into income-generating solar farms that serve your community—and pay you back for decades.

Guaranteed Monthly Income
We lease your roof or land and handle the rest. You receive steady payments over a 20–25 year term—often with escalators built in.

No Upfront Costs or Operational Burden
You don’t pay for panels or construction. We design, finance, build, and maintain the system.

Boost Property Value & Marketability
Solar-powered buildings and lots are more attractive to tenants, municipalities, and buyers. Community solar is also a powerful signal of climate leadership.

Support Local Clean Energy
Your property powers hundreds of local homes and small businesses—without installing panels on their rooftops. It’s clean energy with equity and impact.


How It Works

  1. Site Evaluation
    We use tools like drone mapping, LIDAR, and 3D modeling (via Scanifly) to evaluate your site’s suitability, sun exposure, and interconnection potential.

  2. Lease Agreement
    If your site qualifies, we draft a fair lease agreement with strong protections for you. Our contracts are simple, bankable, and tailored for institutional or individual owners.

  3. Permitting & Incentives
    We handle all design, engineering, and permitting—including utility interconnection (CESIR study), NYSERDA incentive applications, and compliance with Con Edison programs.

  4. Construction & Monitoring
    Our in-house team or trusted local partners install the system with minimal disruption. Once online, we monitor and maintain the system for its full life.
