[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1188087, member: 4362"] The clean up must be it. I'm not worried about cell phone towers but the contracts I've read will only limit the clean up to the above ground features but the concrete footers (4) are yours to deal with but they offer long term leases held by public companies and the leases here are around $1300/acre with an increase every five years. I have my concerns over these solar companies and figure many are just a flash in the pan trying to suck on the government teet. This I don't like because I know their morals have little depth. I made some phone calls and finally found an engineer who worked with a large utility company who was working in this field. From what I understood the government was forcing them to buy so much outside clean energy power and my understanding is that while they may not want the competition they had to do it being they are allowed a monopoly of sorts. He cautioned that these contracts were only going to be given to a few companies and he cautioned there were a lot of pen hookers who would like to tie your land up in hopes of being a middle man and hold the rights to your property. All that aside, even if one of the companies making me these offers is legit and has the contract I don't see why they would want to lease the property other than for the cleanup reasons Aaron stated because with this much rent puts the land value at 10 times it value so you could buy a lot of land for this rather than renting and this makes no sense to me so there has to be some screwy reason they would do this and it can't be good for the landowner. Besides, it sounds too good to be true and it reeks of federal government meddling and that is why I've been tossing ever offer in the trash can. [/QUOTE]
