Your Journey to a Solar Lease
Agreement among Landowners
Confirm, if applicable, that co-owners of the land are agreeable to leasing it for solar energy production. This step is crucial to avoid any legal disputes or disagreements later in the process. It secures the consent required for a legally binding agreement.
Your role:
Actively communicate with other landowners and nominate a spokesperson to be the main contact for the investor, if applicable.
Conclude Lease Contract
Enter into a formal agreement with an investor or relevant party. This contract outlines the terms of the lease, including duration, compensation, and any specific conditions. It Establishes the legal foundation of the lease, providing a clear framework for both parties' rights and responsibilities for the next 20 to 30 years to come. After the approvals are granted it will be secured in the land register and cannot be cancelled anymore.
Your role:
Carefully review and negotiate terms with the investor.
Grid Connection and Feeding Request
Secure approval from the grid operator for connecting the solar installation to the power grid and for feeding in the electricity produced. This includes defining the exact location of the connection to the existing grid infrastructure.

If the connection point is too far from your location, this can mean a no-go for the investor as it is not possible economically.
Your role:
Provide the authorization to the investor to submit requests and provide all necessary documentation.
