We will examine factors such as solar exposure, land use, topography, and grid connection, to determine the best approach for a solar project. Sun2o will then provide a lease or purchase offer, as desired by the landowner, for review. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/1605631763088-OTEMAXP4CEZRLDZ5HKEE/36386866370_521e0a3087_o.jpg Landowners - Project Operation The project will be built in partnership with leading construction companies and once operational will generate clean energy for the next 35+ years. It will be remotely monitored at all times and will require little maintenance. The project will have minimal local impact and generate significant local property tax and lease revenue. All costs to operate, maintain, and decommission the project will be covered by the solar project owner. At the end of its long life, the land can be restored to its previous condition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/1605632590461-RLSUTIM6HVWJZ1X5DSNQ/dreamstime_l_35957071.jpg Landowners - Project Development After executing a Lease or Purchase Agreement, Sun2o will work to complete development tasks including: environmental assessments, permitting, electrical design and interconnection, project layouts, and revenue contracts. As a landowner you can continue farming your property during this time and will not be responsible for any costs or work. Once all necessary development tasks are complete, the project is ready to move to construction and operation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/1575916810385-WV0N8G1DSFZMXY6XT0U5/image-asset.jpeg Landowners https://www.sun2o.com/overview-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/1575844654807-R2G2QNXJMO4SWV6NBGHD/image-asset.jpeg Overview https://www.sun2o.com/what-we-do-tx daily 0.75 2019-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/1603393379894-31JOYHCFN3SU84MII0T8/image-asset.jpeg What We Do https://www.sun2o.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://www.sun2o.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://www.sun2o.com/our-projects daily 0.75 2023-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/f93aef60-8d53-4030-83ee-9ab7ade07c95/Cascade.png Our Projects https://www.sun2o.com/teamold1 daily 0.75 2024-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577db86bebbd1ac2b78aed1b/76aa9f96-c6bd-4344-898e-19bd2269fa50/IMG_0101.jpg Team - Make it stand out Melissa Seymour VP External Affairs Melissa works with customers, regulators, policymakers and independent system operators to advance Sun2o projects.
