Some of the benefits include:
- Long-term income stability from leasing the land
- Use of non-productive pasture-land
- Sharing usable pasture with animals like sheep
- Diversification of income – an additional revenue stream beneficial for farmers or landowners who may face fluctuations in agricultural income streams.
- Environmental ethics – solar farming reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes renewable energy generation. This benefits landowners who can achieve aspirations for commitment to sustainability, responsible land use, and addressing climate change.
