Solar Energy

Solar energy developments can provide strong, inflation-linked income for decades to come or green energy to contribute to creating green assets.

Our extensive experience of solar energy developments across the UK allows us to negotiate optimal commercial terms for the delivery of projects on rural or commercial assets.

Advising landowners for over 10 years, our knowledgeable team will act on your behalf to navigate the complex process of leasing land for solar energy development and the contracts that come with it.

If you are approached by a developer seeking land for a solar energy installation, you will want to obtain the maximum benefit from the project. You will have peace of mind knowing that the relevant financial and legal matters are taken care of, including the agreement of appropriate contractual terms with a developer, succession and tax planning consideration and the resolution of any practical issues such as existing agricultural tenancies.

We are driving the use of solar with other renewable energy sources to improve energy efficiency for commercial assets with a team of technical experts. With Bidwells acting between landowner and developers, you can continue to focus on the running of your business whilst we work to secure you significant additional income.
