Option agreements for solar leases are critical documents for landowners and developers considering renewable energy projects.

At Moore Barlow, our renewable energy solicitors guide and advise you throughout the entire process, ensuring that your interests are fully protected, and any agreement you enter aligns clearly with your long-term objectives.

What are option agreements for solar leases?

An option agreement is a contract between a landowner and a renewable energy developer, giving the developer exclusive rights to lease the property for solar energy projects within an agreed period. It grants the developer certainty regarding their investment and planning permissions, while providing financial security and clarity for landowners at the same time.

At Moore Barlow, our experts understand the complexities involved in renewable energy option agreements and ensure your legal rights and financial interests are prioritised. We provide clear guidance, from helping your agent with negotiating the initial terms through to finalising the solar lease, giving you peace of mind throughout every stage.
