Leasing land to us will provide you with long-term, stable income as well as helping to contribute to a smooth energy transition. Leases usually run for 35 years, with competitive compensation for landowners, while we take care of obtaining all licenses and permits, and cover all the occurred costs.
This stage includes the collection of all information needed, a visit of the property, assessment of connection opportunities and costs, investment calculations and profitability calculations. If the outcome is positive, a lease agreement will be signed.
We carry out project planning and planning where part of the elements included is, among other things, dimensioning cables, determining shaft lengths and producing working drawings for the executing contractor.
The projects, solar installations or charging stations, will be implemented and supervised by experienced professionals and started up.
Ongoing operation for 35 years, with regular service and maintenance.
The facility is dismantled and recycled, and the land is restored.
When it comes to finding a good location for a charging station, it is important to be close to a major motorway, preferably at a traffic junction. A high traffic flow of both heavy and light vehicles may indicate good conditions for a charging station. The most optimal land for a charging station is a large car park of at least 1 acres, preferably already paved, but smaller parcels of agricultural and forest land can also be converted into a charging station.
A vehicle charging station typically requires a relatively small area, usually between 1 acres up to 2 acres. Depending on the type of charging to be done on site, charging heavy vehicles requires a larger area than a charging point for passenger cars.
Building a charging station requires planning, which usually takes a few years. On the one hand, permits and capacity are needed from the grid owner to be able to connect charging stations to the electricity grid, and on the other hand, any permits are needed from the County Administrative Board and the municipality. If a facility is established on forest land or agricultural land, the County Administrative Board needs to assess how the natural and cultural environment is affected through a consultation. Furthermore, in order to build a charging station, a building permit is required from the municipality. Green Stop is responsible for all design elements and costs that may arise, the landowner only leases the land with such an arrangement.
The rent level depends largely on the conditions for operating a charging station at the site, so we tailor the lease offer to the local conditions. Green Stop endeavours to offer landowners the most attractive compensation model possible through production-based leases. We also give the landowner security by offering a guaranteed minimum level of compensation. In this way, we can ensure a favourable installation for the landowner.
Depending on the type of land, different preparations are required for a charging station. If the land is already paved, you can proceed with the installation directly. If the land is forest or agricultural land, the ground needs to be prepared and paved first. After paving, the charging points are set up and anchored to the hard surface. When a fast-charging station is built, the charging points are usually satellites that are in turn connected to a larger pack that supplies the charging points with energy. In this way, it is possible to achieve high power outputs when charging, while each charging point takes up less space.
As the majority of the vehicle fleet becomes electrified, more charging points are needed. This is why charging station leases are signed for 35 years in order to provide charging points for many years to come. A 35-year lease also means a long-term lease income for the landowner.
In order to build a charging station, the land needs to be tarmaced to ensure safe driving and charging for drivers. When the facility is dismantled, all components are removed from the site and only the asphalt remains, which can be used for parking, for example. There is also an option to continue operating the charging point through the extension of the lease agreement.
In order to lease out land for a solar park, proximity to the electricity grid (connection point) is of great importance. A large transformer station with associated switchgear in the vicinity of the land (max. 4 miles away) can indicate that there are conditions for connecting a large-scale solar park. In addition, there needs to be good solar irradiation on the site indicating high production capacity. Furthermore, at least 25 to 50 acres of flat land that is relatively rock-free and has a soil depth of at least 3 to 10 feet is required. Both forest and agricultural land can be considered for a solar park.
Building a solar park requires planning, which usually takes a few years. On the one hand, permits and capacity are needed from the grid owner in order to connect production to the electricity grid, and on the other hand, any permits from the County Administrative Board and the municipality are needed. If a plant is established on forest land or agricultural land, the County Administrative Board needs to assess how the natural and cultural environment is affected through a consultation. A solar park generally requires a building permit from the municipality, but some components such as transformer stations require a building permit. Green Stop is responsible for all design components and costs that may arise, the landowner only leases the land with such an arrangement.
The lease level depends largely on the conditions for establishing and operating a solar park, so we tailor the lease offer to the local conditions. Green Stop endeavors to offer landowners as attractive a remuneration model as possible through production-based leases. We also give the landowner security by offering a guaranteed minimum level of compensation. In this way, we can ensure a favorable installation for the landowner.
Depending on the type of land (agricultural land/forest land or other), the land needs different types of preparation before the installation of the solar park can begin. For forest land, the trees need to be felled and the stumps removed, while for agricultural land the same type of preparation is not required, and the land is more or less ready for installation.
The installation of the solar park involves simple interventions in the ground as the ground is piled up to install the solar cells in the associated mounting system. Once the solar cells are installed, the conversion of the solar energy into electricity begins. To utilize the electricity in the public grid, the direct current produced by the panels is converted into alternating current using inverters. The voltage is then switched to the same level as in the public grid using smaller substations on the site.
In order for the solar park to be able to produce electricity throughout the lifetime of the installation, the lease contract is signed for at least 35 years, which means a long-term lease income for the landowner.
Since a solar park involves simple interventions on the land, it is relatively easy to return the land to its original position before installation. When the landowner enters into a lease contract with Green Stop, a fund is set up to cover any restoration costs at the end of the contract. After the lease period, Green Stop undertakes to restore the land by driving piles, removing the components and possibly filling some parts of the land with topsoil. This will be followed by the restoration of the landscape with possible vegetation.
By becoming a host for a solar farm or a charging station, you can not only contribute to a sustainable world but also earn a steady stream of passive income once the operations are up and running!
