Why Host a Project?
Reliable Revenue Stream
Land rights agreements are a reliable and passive long-term income source that can benefit landowners and their families for generations.
Projects Are Quiet
Our projects do not generate any traffic once construction is complete, have no permanent on-site staff, and require no external lighting.
Easy & Effective
We take care of everything inside the lease boundary, and you receive a rent check each year for allowing us to operate the project on your land.
Helping the Community

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a solar project have a negative impact on my land or livestock?
A well-managed solar project has minimal to no negative impact on land or livestock. Solar panels are passive structures that do not emit harmful chemicals or noises. In addition, solar farms are designed to safely co-exist with livestock. Many farms allow grazing beneath solar panels, which can benefit both land and animals by providing shade and maintaining vegetation.
What is a standard construction timeline for a solar project?
Development and construction timelines vary based on project size, location, regulatory requirements and weather conditions during construction. Typically, a total estimated timeline ranges from 18-24 months.
Who will be responsible for managing and maintaining this project during operation?
GSI is responsible for managing and maintaining all projects. GSI has a dedicated Operations & Maintenance (O&M) team responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the solar equipment ensuring efficient operation and addressing of any technical issues.
Will my land be protected during and after the full life cycle of this project?
Stewardship of your land is our #1 priority. GSI implements best practices to minimize land disturbance and preserve soil health and local ecosystems. A comprehensive decommissioning plan will serve as a guide for our team in the removal process of all solar equipment and to ensure the land is returned to its original state at the end of the project lifecycle.
What is the lease term and monetary consideration?
The operation period is 20+ years with the possibility of extending this period for an additional 10-20 years. Landowners typically receive annual lease payments, structured as a per acre rate, depending on location, market rates and project size. Contact us to learn more!
Who benefits from the energy produced once the solar project is up and running?
The benefits from energy production extend to various stakeholders, including utility companies, landowners, the community and investors.
