Unlock the Value of Your Solar or Battery Storage Land
You’ve already made a smart decision by leasing your land for solar or battery storage (BESS). Those fixed, long-term lease payments are reliable, but what if you could receive the value of your long-term lease today to use for other purposes?
SolaREIT™ gives landowners a way to access the value of their lease today, as a single lump sum payment, in as little as 30 to 45 days after signing with no obligation to give up ownership of the land.
Turn Your Long-Term Lease into Immediate Capital
Your lease is an asset. SolaREIT™ helps you put it to work now, whether you want to reinvest, expand, plan for the future, or simply have more flexibility. Landowners we work with have used lump sum payments to:
- Purchase additional land
- Invest in business infrastructure
- Invest in a business or portfolio
- Fund their retirement
- Invest in education
- Buy a second home
Choose the Solution That Fits Your Goals and Vision For Your Land
Land Purchase
For landowners who want immediate capital without the responsibility of land management.
SolaREIT purchases the land outright in exchange for a one-time lump sum payment. If you’re no longer interested in land ownership, this solution is right for you.
- Maximum upfront capital
- Clean, simple transaction
- No ongoing obligations
Lease Purchase
For landowners who want to monetize their lease while keeping the land, SolaREIT prepays the value of your solar or battery storage lease in a single, upfront payment. In exchange, we receive a lease assignment and easement over the project area for the lease term. You retain ownership of the property, with no risk of clawback.
- Lease value delivered upfront as a lump sum
- You keep ownership of the land
- No clawback risk under any circumstances
Land Loan
You receive a lump sum payment against the value of your lease, while retaining ownership of the property. Loan repayments are structured to align with your existing lease payments, and the structure may allow you to defer capital gains taxes, an important advantage for many landowners.
- Retain ownership and interest
- Loan payments sized to your existing lease obligations
- May defer capital gains taxes

Why Landowners Work With SolaREIT
Keep your land if you want.
For many landowners, ownership matters. If you want to retain ownership of your property, our Lease Purchase and Land Loan structures are designed exactly for that. If you’d prefer to sell your land, we have a solution for that too. The choice is yours.
A process built for people, not just deals.
SolaREIT has worked with landowners of all kinds, including corporate landowners, family farms, individual property owners, commercial operators, and commercial agricultural landowners. We know this decision is significant, and we’ve built a process that’s clear, transparent, and straightforward from first conversation to closing.
Experience that shows up at the table.
Our team brings deep experience in solar and battery energy storage real estate. That means fewer surprises, cleaner contracts, and a counterparty that understands what you’re working with because we’ve seen it before.
Understanding When a Lump Sum Makes Sense
For many landowners, predictable long-term lease payments work exactly as intended.
But for others, the advantages of immediate, unrestricted capital outweigh the traditional arrangement.
More money, more options.
ExpandA lump sum payment unlocks broader options, such as purchasing additional land, business investment, earlier retirement, or the ability to invest in their families that monthly payments simply can’t support at the same scale or speed.
Access to capital at favorable terms.
ExpandTapping the value of your lease through SolaREIT may deliver capital at more competitive terms than traditional bank financing because we understand the value of solar and storage land and we know how these projects work.
The power of compounding.
ExpandA lump sum payment deployed today may grow significantly faster than the same value received incrementally over time.
Protection from the unexpected.
ExpandIf solar or storage project operations are paused or discontinued for any reason (natural disaster, flooding, etc), your lump sum payment is not subject to clawback. SolaREIT assumes that risk, not you.
Three Steps From First Conversation to Closing
Pricing
Share the basic details of your lease and project. We'll move quickly to provide a price and term sheet, with no lengthy intake process and no unnecessary back-and-forth.
Contract
Our contracts are shaped by years of experience and hundreds of closed transactions. As off-the-shelf standardized documents, they are clear, fair, and built to avoid surprises. This is one of the most consistent things landowners tell us they appreciated about working with SolaREIT.
Closing
Our streamlined closing process is designed to get you to your payment in as little as 30 to 45 days.
Why Developers and Landowners Choose SolaREIT
- "I didn't expect the process to be this straightforward."
- "We kept the land and still got the capital we needed to expand."
- "SolaREIT was upfront about everything from day one."
