Interested in Leasing or Selling Your Land?

Paddle Energy can lease or purchase land for solar projects. This allows property owners to generate passive income while maintaining ownership of the land, or conduct a sales transaction. Either option is designed to meet your financial needs and create a positive environmental impact. 

What Our Partners Say About Us

“I have worked with Dale on solar and community-based initiatives for more than a dozen years. In that time, he has worked to eliminate employment barriers in the renewable industry for marginalized youth, promoted programs that support farmers leasing their land for solar, and helped nonprofits—including our United Way—access affordable solar energy. Dale directs his passion, resources and entrepreneurial spirit to making positive and lasting change.”

Dan Leroy

United Way President and CEO

“We worked with Dustin on 225 acres of our farmland portfolio for a large solar development. The price was acceptable, the process was made clear, and we were kept well informed throughout. I strongly recommend working with Dustin to ensure your solar project experience is transparent and successful.”

Jonathon T. Cook, Esq.

Landowner

“Paddle Energy prioritizes a collaborative approach to developing community solar projects. Their development team works closely with communities, landowners and subject matter experts, such as Flycatcher, and other firms, to minimize effects on natural and scenic resources. My experience working on the siting, design and permitting of projects with Paddle throughout Maine has been positive and enjoyable. Paddle’s projects are thoughtfully designed to benefit landowners, the community, and the environment!”
