Monetize Your Land,
Generate Energy
Lightstar is a community solar developer and long-term owner with a pipeline of over 1 Gigawatt (GW) of community solar farms in the US. Founded by a seasoned team of solar developers, our mission is to be good stewards of the land and the communities we serve. We at Lightstar understand that farmland is most vulnerable when it changes hands, and we want to talk to you about a solution; we'll help you create a passive income stream — while still allowing for crop rotation or grazing.

Let Your Land Work For You
Looking to retire, but want to ensure that you can maintain your family legacy? Lightstar’s generous lease payments often provide guaranteed income for farmers and landowners, allowing you to maintain control of your land and your wealth. Typical Lightstar community solar projects are built on 15-20 acre parcels and produce enough energy to power around 1,000 average-sized homes for a year.
You Provide the Land, We Handle the Rest
You can lease your land to Lightstar for a community solar project, at no expense to you and your family. Lightstar covers the full cost of installation, as well as any additional equipment or fencing that may be required to ensure your land is still agriculturally viable.
Farming + Solar, Together at Last
Should you want the option, our installations can be designed with crops and animals in mind. Whether you’re looking to continue crop production, or want space for your livestock to graze, we’ll provide irrigation, fencing, and all the other infrastructure you’ll need.
At Our Core, We’re Stewards of the Land
We care for your land as if it’s our own, and our goal is to leave your land in better condition than we found it. Unlike other solar companies, we support the full lifecycle of our projects, meaning we don’t leave after initial development — we continuously work with our partners to ensure the long-term success of every project.

"Up to 900,000 acres of farmland may be idled, resulting in the loss of 50,000 jobs. PPIC analysts have suggested solar as a potential way to fill that economic gap, while helping the state meet its clean energy goals. California would need to increase the amount of large-scale solar it installs each year by 60 percent through 2035 to meet requirements under a climate plan the California Air Resources board published last year.”
