Was discussing this with a friend this past weekend out west of Quanah.

Solar company wants to lease right now for $300 per acre and he can still use the land until they begin construction. Once solar is in place he said they offer lease terms of $3500 per acre per year.

I asked if he meant $3500 for length of lease, he said NO, $3500 per year.

This is just preliminary, but he is considering giving up a huge percentage of his ranch/farmland for that price.

Not really sure what company sterilizes the soil, although that'd help with keeping vegetation down but...



This is how they are doing them in Fort Bend County. Never actually heard of any solar company nuking the ground - that'd be horrible for erosion and soil stability thus effecting the posts.

I'm not saying solar is the king and should be lauded, just giving an actual example of what I know is going on with things around me (and projects I have worked on).
