A “Landowner-First” Approach to Renewable Energy

With BrightSky Renewables, you lease part of your land and earn more than you do farming, all without costing you one dollar or using any of your water. This is a great option for many landowners, including farmers who have fallow land or could benefit from a strong and consistent revenue stream to offset the unpredictable income from farming operations. Best of all, you get these benefits with no capital investment and no risk on your part.

Reduce Your Energy Bill With BrightSky Renewables

Solar energy provides businesses with an unbeatable opportunity to reduce energy costs. With BrightSky Renewables, you can lower your energy bill with no upfront capital investment. We engineer, permit, finance, and install a solar energy system on your property, and you buy the energy, not the solar equipment. All of this translates into big savings for your business.

“We farm the sun. It’s the easiest crop we have; it just sits there, produces energy, and keeps making me money.”

“I’ve been working with the Principals at BrightSky for over 10 years. They’ve helped me to complete a 40-acre solar farm and battery storage system at our food processing facility; Dylan is honest and does what he says. If you’re considering leasing ground for solar, I strongly encourage you to call BrightSky. They understand the challenges of farming and water, and always shoot straight.”

“BrightSky Renewables helps everyday ranchers like myself farm the sun without using a nickel of my money. The process takes time but is worth the wait. They lease 20-80 acres from landowners and pay more money than we make farming. BrightSky is offering small ranchers like myself an amazing opportunity to generate income and preserve our properties for future generations.”

“SMGA is challenging all of us farmers in California. BrightSky’s mission to rent a landowner’s ground, pay us more money than we make farming, not use any of our water, all at no cost to us, is a needed alternative to farming. And for water-challenged ground, this is a ‘no-brainer’.”

“I have been working with the Principals at BrightSky for over 10 years. They’ve helped me complete 4 solar projects, both at my food processing facility and converting fallow farmland into a 40-acre community solar project. If you’re considering leasing ground for solar, I strongly encourage you to call BrightSky Renewables. They understand the challenges of farming and water, and always shoot straight.”

“The Central Valley Coalition for Affordable Housing oversees more than 24,257 low-income apartments throughout California. We support BrightSky’s mission to develop community solar statewide, offering essential financial relief to landowners through rent and our affordable housing residents through savings on utility bills.”
