Community Solar for Property Owners
Turn underused rooftops, parking lots, or fields into income-generating solar farms that serve your community - and pay you back for decades.
Sitting on valuable real estate?
If you own a large rooftop, parking lot, or field, you may be sitting on one of the most valuable assets in the clean energy transition.
Rivertown Solar helps landlords turn underused space into income-generating solar farms that serve your community - and pay you back for decades.
Why Lease to a Community Solar Project?
Guaranteed Monthly Income
We lease your roof or land and handle the rest. You receive steady payments over a 20–25 year term - often with escalators built in.
No Upfront Costs or Operational Burden
You don't pay for panels or construction. We design, finance, build, and maintain the system.
Boost Property Value & Marketability
Solar-powered buildings and lots are more attractive to tenants, municipalities, and buyers. Community solar is a powerful signal of climate leadership.
Support Local Clean Energy
Your property powers hundreds of local homes and small businesses - clean energy with equity and impact.
How It Works
Site Evaluation
We use drone mapping, LIDAR, and 3D modeling (via Scanifly) to evaluate suitability, sun exposure, and interconnection potential.
Lease Agreement
If your site qualifies, we draft a fair lease agreement with strong protections - simple, bankable, and tailored for institutional or individual owners.
Permitting & Incentives
We handle all design, engineering, and permitting - including utility interconnection (CESIR study), NYSERDA incentive applications, and Con Edison program compliance.
Construction & Monitoring
Our in-house team or trusted local partners install the system with minimal disruption. We monitor and maintain for its full life.
