Landowners

We are looking for land for solar: lease or direct purchase.

We are looking for plots of at least 4 hectares for photovoltaic, agrivoltaic and storage plants: lease them for 30 years under a surface right or sell them directly to us. Free valuation, all costs on us.

Flat land suitable for a photovoltaic plant

Which land we look for to build photovoltaic plants

Sunscape develops its own plants directly, which is why we look for suitable land to lease or buy.

If you farm your land, we can build a next-generation agrivoltaic plant on it: you keep cultivating for the next 30 years and receive a competitive rent, also payable upfront at contract signing. Prefer to sell? We buy directly, with a concrete offer.

If your land is unused or abandoned, we buy it or take it under a surface rights agreement: from idle cost to long-term revenue-generating asset.

Agricultural land from 4 hectares

We are seeking flat, tree-free land with a minimum area of four hectares (40,000 m2), preferably not too far from industrial or commercial areas. If the land is farmed, with agrivoltaic you can keep cultivating it under and between the panels.

Industrial land and suitable areas

The value of your land can increase further if it lies in a suitable area, i.e. if it meets at least one of the following requirements:

  • within 350 m of plants or industrial facilities;
  • within 300 m of highways;
  • with a non-agricultural land-use designation (industrial and light-industrial areas, white zones, former quarries).

The rules on suitable areas were updated by Law 4/2026. If you think your land might be suitable for us, we invite you to contact us to receive a free offer.

Note: We currently do not operate in Calabria, Campania, Sardinia, and Sicily.

Our solutions

Lease or sale: two ways to put your land to work

Sunscape offers two routes to monetise land suitable for a photovoltaic, agrivoltaic or energy-storage plant: lease long-term (surface right) while keeping ownership, or sell directly to the developer. Choose the formula that fits your goals and read more on our pages about leasing land for photovoltaic and selling land for photovoltaic.

30-year surface right: rent optionally upfront at signing

Receive a rent for 30 years (annual or fully upfront at signing) and keep ownership of the land, with the option to keep farming it with agrivoltaic. All costs and permitting risk are on us.

Direct sale: payment at a concrete valuation

Sell the land to a direct buyer: competitive deposits already during the process and the balance at the final deed, once permits are obtained. Zero intermediaries, all technical costs on us.

Referrers

Know of suitable land? Refer it and earn a commission

You don't need to be the owner to work with us. If you know of land with the features we look for (at least 4 hectares, flat, ideally near industrial areas or motorways), put us in touch with the owner: Sunscape pays a commission to the referrer if an agreement is reached.

Gather the land details

Municipality, cadastral sheet and parcel (if you have them) and the owner's contact, who must agree to be contacted.

Send us the referral

Write to terreni@sunscape.it or fill in the form below, stating in the message that it is a referral.

We assess and keep you posted

We check the land's suitability free of charge. If an agreement with the owner is reached, you receive the commission.

FAQ

FAQ on finding land for photovoltaic

Who looks for land for photovoltaic plants?
Mainly developers, the companies that design the plants and obtain their permits and grid connection. Sunscape is a developer: we deal directly with the owner, with no intermediaries, and operate in a joint venture with U.S. group Chaberton Energy.
How many hectares does land need for photovoltaic?
We look for land of at least 4 hectares (40,000 m²), flat and free of trees. Above this threshold, the larger the area, the more viable the project: fixed development and connection costs are spread over a larger plant. Requests for land under 4 hectares cannot be assessed.
Which land is most in demand for photovoltaic?
Land in suitable areas: within 350 m of industrial plants or facilities, within 300 m of motorways, or with a non-agricultural land-use designation (industrial and light-industrial areas, white zones, former quarries). Proximity to a medium-voltage substation and the absence of constraints also matter. Agricultural land remains attractive with agrivoltaic, which lets you keep farming.
In which regions are you looking for land?
We assess land in every Italian region except Calabria, Campania, Sardinia and Sicily, where we do not currently operate. Today we have projects under development or construction in, among others, Apulia, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto.
How long does it take to reach an agreement?
The first assessment is free and starts from the cadastral data you send us. If the land is suitable we present an offer; we then request the grid connection, which the operator answers in about 100-150 business days. With a positive outcome the preliminary agreement is signed before a notary, with a confirmatory deposit. The final deed follows once the project obtains all permits.
What documents do I need for the preliminary analysis?
For the first valuation, the cadastral data (region, province, municipality, sheet, parcel) and the hectarage are enough. Fill out the form above: the eligibility check (constraints, distance to MV substation, land-use designation) is on us, free of charge.
Can I refer land that I don't own?
Yes. If you know an owner with suitable land, put us in touch: Sunscape pays a commission to the referrer if an agreement is reached. Write to terreni@sunscape.it or fill in the form stating that it is a referral.
