Sell your land for photovoltaic:we buy direct, with a concrete offer.
Sunscape is a direct buyer, not an intermediary. We look for land of at least 4 hectares to build photovoltaic, agrivoltaic and energy-storage plants across Italy.
A single point of contact, zero intermediaries
We develop photovoltaic, agrivoltaic and energy-storage plants ourselves across Italy. From first contact to the final deed you deal with one single counterpart, who follows the project with full transparency: no scouts, no agencies, no percentage lost along the way.
We recognise competitive deposits already during the development process, starting from the notarial preliminary agreement, and the balance of the price at the final deed, once permits are obtained. All technical costs are on us.
What determines the value of your land
There is no standard per-hectare price when selling land for a photovoltaic, agrivoltaic or energy-storage plant. Real value depends on a combination of technical, zoning and geographic factors. Knowing them before signing helps the landowner understand what the land is really worth and avoid accepting low offers.
Total surface area
We acquire land with a minimum surface of 4 hectares (40,000 sqm). Above this threshold, the larger the area, the higher the unit value: economies of scale reduce fixed development costs and make the site more attractive to whoever will build the plant.
Distance from the nearest MV substation
Grid connection is one of the largest development costs. Land near a medium-voltage (MV) substation or an existing line is worth significantly more than isolated land that would require kilometers of new line.
Land-use designation
The land-use designation set by the municipal planning tool (PRG, PUC, PGT) defines the permitting path. Non-agricultural land (industrial, light-industrial, tertiary, "white zones") is usually faster to permit and receives higher valuations than purely agricultural land.
Constraints and easements
Landscape, hydrogeological, archaeological constraints or easements can complicate or prevent the project. A preliminary check allows for an accurate value estimate: fewer blocking constraints means a faster permitting path and therefore a better offer.
Road accessibility
Plant construction requires access for heavy vehicles. Land served by paved roads or well-maintained dirt roads is worth more than land reachable only via informal tracks or uncertain rights of way.
Moderate slope and no trees
Installing the structures requires flat terrain or terrain with a moderate slope: steep gradients raise construction costs and reduce the usable surface. The land must also be free of trees, especially tall ones, which would create shading and high clearing costs.
What land we buy
Sunscape buys land directly for the development of photovoltaic, agrivoltaic and energy-storage plants. Our valuation is not limited to "standard" land: we look favourably at less obvious situations too, such as decommissioned industrial sites or former quarries.
Land within 350 metres of industrial facilities
Italian rules on suitable areas favour land adjacent to productive zones: a plot within 350 metres of industrial plants or warehouses benefits from a faster permitting path and therefore receives significantly higher valuations.
Land within 300 metres of motorways
The strip within 300 metres of motorways is also among the preferred areas for development: these zones are already affected by infrastructure, so a plant has a lower landscape impact and permitting is easier.
Agricultural land free of landscape constraints, 4+ hectares
Flat agricultural land, typically arable or uncultivated, with a minimum surface of 4 hectares and free of landscape constraints. The absence of blocking constraints means a faster process and a higher valuation — even if the plot is currently farmed for low-value crops.
Industrial, light-industrial or non-agricultural land
Areas with industrial, light-industrial or otherwise non-agricultural designation (including "white zones" and former quarries). They are the fastest to permit and generally receive the highest valuations: for owners of such areas, selling is often the most profitable option.
How to sell your land for photovoltaic in 5 steps
Get in touch
Send us your cadastral data and a description of your land via the online form or by email to terreni@sunscape.it. No commitment and no cost.
Eligibility analysis and offer
We verify zoning constraints, distance to the grid and accessibility free of charge. If the land is suitable, one of our specialists will contact you to present our commercial offer.
Grid feasibility check
We submit a formal grid connection request (TICA) to the network operator to confirm project feasibility. Typically 100–150 business days.
Preliminary agreement
With a positive grid response, we proceed with the notarial signing of the preliminary sale agreement, with payment of the first deposit to the owner.
Final deed and payment
Once all permits are obtained, we proceed with the final notarial deed and payment of the full remaining amount. All technical development costs are borne by Sunscape.
The advantages of selling your land to Sunscape
A single counterpart, full transparency
We develop the project ourselves and accompany you with full transparency throughout the process: from the first site visit to the final deed you always deal with one single counterpart, with no hand-offs and no percentages held back by intermediaries.
All costs on us
Cadastral checks, constraint analysis, grid connection request, surveys, permits: every cost of the full process is on us. The owner advances nothing.
Attractive price and deposits at the preliminary
We recognise an attractive price, set in writing, with confirmatory deposits already at the notarial preliminary agreement and during the development process. The balance is paid at the final deed, once permits are obtained.
The strength of a large group
Sunscape operates in a joint venture with U.S. group Chaberton Energy: financial strength and operational continuity guaranteed throughout the process, from the preliminary agreement to the final deed.
Lease the land instead of selling it
If you prefer to keep ownership of your land and receive a stable rent for 30 years, take a look at the lease option (surface rights agreement): guaranteed income, land stays yours, rent optionally fully upfront at signing and the option to keep farming with agrivoltaic.
