How Farmers in Gujarat Can Earn Passive Income by Renting Their Land for Solar Projects

Gujarat has long been the leader in India’s solar revolution. But what many farmers still don’t know is this — you don’t need to install panels yourself to earn from solar. You can now simply rent or sell your unused land to solar companies looking to develop utility-scale solar farms.

Our platform bridges this gap.

Why Are Solar Companies Looking for Land in Gujarat? Solar developers need large tracts of clear, non-forested, non-disputed land close to substations. Gujarat, with its high solar irradiance and strong transmission network, is ideal.

But finding verified, ready-to-acquire land isn't easy — that’s where we come in.

How Can Farmers Benefit? 💰 Earn monthly rental income (long-term lease, typically 25-30 years)

🏡 Retain land ownership while earning from it

🧾 All agreements are legally vetted with clear terms

🌱 Support clean energy and India's renewable mission

Many farmers have already leased out their land for ₹25,000–₹50,000 per acre per year, depending on location and substation proximity.

How the Platform Works Farmers fill out a simple form — taluka, land size, type (sale/rent), and substation details

Solar companies also submit their preferences

We match both sides, verify land documents, and help finalize deals

Real Impact We’ve already helped arrange over 1,000+ acres of land for solar projects across Gujarat. And we’re just getting started.
