WHO WE SERVE
Landowners
We believe that every landowner should have the power to make decisions that align with their long-term goals. At ECA Solar, we offer flexible options to help you preserve your land while generating reliable income. By partnering with us, you can diversify your revenue stream through a lease agreement or a transfer of ownership; either way, we pay the taxes. Our approach to working together is based on trust, honesty, accountability, and personal connections. We value building strong relationships with landowners and local communities because we don’t just develop and sell projects, we may operate the asset for the next 30-40 years. Together, we can create a solution that protects your land and secures your financial future.

Our project development steps are simple:
Development stage:
As an independently owned developer, you can rely on us to attain the correct permits and contracts to streamline the process. By proactively working with the local government and county to meet correct zoning and permitting requirements, we manage everything from start to finish. We do the upfront diligence needed to decrease your time to revenue. We ensure all regulations are followed and things are done right the first time.
Construction stage:
With a commitment to compliance and our team's experience as a former EPC contractor, we understand the challenges of building solar projects. Because we’ve done the work to de-risk the project from the outset, you can trust that we will deliver on our promises. We have built a reputation for designing safe, reliable projects with transparency and accountability.
Operating stage:
Upon completion of the project, we will continue to maintain and operate the community solar project. By getting deeply integrated into the community, we have a vested interest in ensuring all local stakeholders - from government to residents - realize the outcomes they expected. From improved infrastructure to job creation, we aim to bring economic prosperity to all communities we serve.
“The sale of the property involved closed on October seventh 2024. You may know the Arnold family has owned said property for over one hundred years. As one of the two remaining family members, I gave much thought about the future use of this property and concluded that solar development would be the best choice. This will have the least environmental impact compared to a house development or other uses. This will preserve the natural spring on the property as well as the timber between this present and the railroad which is essentially wetlands.“
