Solar Farm Development-It's What We Do
DE is a family-owned and operated business founded in 2013, originally based in Pittsboro, NC, and currently headquartered in Durham, NC. We pride ourselves on conducting business in the most straightforward and honest way possible, preferring in-person meetings and handshakes.
We meet with landowners in-person to answer questions, explain the development process and address concerns to help you feel comfortable with embarking with us on a long-term development journey.
Our approach is built on transparency, trust, and a deep understanding of local landscapes and community dynamics. We don't just develop solar farms; we create sustainable partnerships that benefit both landowners and the broader community.
DE in Numbers
Transmission-Tied Development
Transmission projects are interconnected to the large overhead power lines that serve as the grid's "electrical highways." Due to the size and voltage of these power lines, the projects themselves must also be large in their size and scope.
They typically require at least 200 acres of land and proximate access to an overhead transmission line. These projects vary in size depending on location, utility, and line voltage but can be as large as 2,000 acres!
RES has years of development experience and a track record of success in developing these projects across the Southeast.
ELIGIBILITY
For your land to be eligible, it must:
- * Distribution: Minimum of 20 acres of continuous land
- * Transmission: Minimum of 300 acres of continuous or contiguous land
- * Access to power lines and/or a utility substation
- * Generally free of wetlands, endangered species, and floodplains
- * Grade of 15% or less
Why Choose DE
EXPERIENCED
Operating since 2013, we have seen solar in North Carolina grow from infancy to the fourth most installed capacity in America. Our projects span North and South Carolina, Virginia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. Our partnerships have created generational wealth opportunities for landowners through long-term lease agreements.
PASSIONATE
Solar energy has been a part of our family since 2001 when John learned to incorporate passive and active solar into his residential building design. Today, having seen its power on a utility scale, we work diligently to create a world powered by the sun while helping landowners establish sustainable income streams that benefit multiple generations of their families.
