How do I find solar developers to lease my land?
Short answer: start with the companies already proposing projects near you. Each Texas county page lists every proposed project in ERCOT's report, with its developer.
Start local
Developers build where the grid can take new power, so companies with projects in your county are the most likely to want land there. Open your county page to see each proposed project, its developer, and how far along it is.
Know what your land offers
Before you reach out, know your acreage, distance to the nearest power line, and any flood zones or wetlands. Quicksand Check gives you all of these for free, in a report you can share by link.
Other routes
- Online land marketplaces let landowners list property for energy developers.
- Neighbors who have signed leases, and your county Extension office, often know which companies are active.
Vet every company
