Landowner Partnership
Our Approach
When TotalEnergies develops a project in the U.S., we commit to building a long-term relationship with the community. From our early due diligence with environmental evaluations, to obtaining local permits and utility agreements, we strive to take the necessary steps to develop solar projects with integrity.
When choosing TotalEnergies, you can be confident in our decades of experience and the pride we take in every solar project development.
Benefiting you, Benefiting the Community
With solar farms having a life span of over 30 years, it is important for us that we are good stewards of the land and develop projects that help benefit the surrounding community.
Clean, Local Energy
Leasing your land for solar is a great way to help the country transition to a cleaner, renewable economy. Solar projects do not generate air or water emissions, produce hazardous waste, or deplete natural resources.
Strengthen Local Economies
Solar development strengthens rural economies by creating local jobs, increasing economic development opportunities that positively impact local businesses, and contributes local tax revenues.
Predictable, Passive Income
We offer highly competitive rates that allow for predictable income and long-term planning. Landowners do not have to worry about renegotiating a land lease or finding a new tenant farmer every few years.
Securing Land Legacy
Landowners and their families are provided with a steady, reliable source of revenue throughout the project’s life. This allows the land to stay within the family for generations.
Preserving the Land and Local Wildlife
We ensure our solar farms have a minimal impact on the land and natural environment. We also use pollinator-friendly plants and native grasses in our site restoration plans.
Community Commitment
We always look for ways to engage with the communities involved in our solar projects. We are committed to making a positive impact beyond generating renewable energy.
We've had an outstanding experience collaborating with TotalEnergies on our solar development project. TotalEnergies sets the standard for excellence in the industry, demonstrating remarkable professionalism, clear communication, and unmatched expertise. Their unwavering dedication to both reducing environmental impact and delivering renewable energy solutions is truly exceptional.

Our renewables team in Austin, Texas, partnered with Austin Parks Foundation to help clear out overgrown bushes, and clean trails to plant new native seeds for future growth of the habitat.
What We Look For
Interested in Leasing your Land?
Initial Conversation
We discuss your general interest in a solar project, ownership status, easements, title restrictions, and other relevant matters. If you are interested in the project, we will discuss lease rates and other primary lease terms (length of the lease, equipment removal, property taxes, construction activities, etc.). Please submit this contact form to initiate a conversation.
Site Visit and Negotiate Terms
TotalEnergies will arrange a site visit to meet with landowners and view the property. Then, we will further explain the project lifecycle and answer any additional questions. Finally, the landowner and TotalEnergies will agree on key deal terms, including option and lease rates.
Execute Lease or Purchase Option
The landowner and TotalEnergies will review all final terms and then execute the lease or purchase option.
