A solar lease is a contract with a solar energy company to have a solar energy system installed on your roof or land. This operates like a standard lease, the lessor (landlord) allows the solar energy company to lease the space and in this case use it for solar power. The lessor gains a known income and the energy company makes money from exporting the energy.
As part of the agreement the landlord may purchase some or all of the electricity generated for a beneficial rate.
