Solar farm development · UK

Solar farms, built on solid ground.

Earthwise finds, secures and develops ground-mount solar across the UK. Landowners get a fair deal in plain English. Investors get a pipeline where every site's land, grid and planning position is real, dated and never overstated.

Two conversations

Whether it's your field or your fund.

We work with two kinds of people. Each gets a named contact and the full picture, never a sales pitch.

For landowners

Your land, on your terms.

No fee is ever charged for granting exclusivity. If a site goes ahead, you're paid a fair market rent for the life of the lease.

  • A named contact throughout, not a call centre
  • You confirm your own boundary on a map. Nothing is assumed
  • Full Heads of Terms before anything is signed
  • Typical exclusivity period: around 12 months
For investors & off-takers

A pipeline built stage by stage.

Every site in the portfolio carries a real land, grid and planning position: tracked, dated, and never overstated.

  • Site-by-site financial modelling, not one blended number
  • Grid position checked against the network operator's own published data
  • Ground-mount and private-wire off-take, depending on the site
  • Full document room on request
How it works

Six stages. No shortcuts.

A site only reaches "ready to build" once land, grid and planning have each been fully worked through.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something else on your mind? Ask us below. We reply personally.

Does it cost me anything to talk to you?

No. No fee is ever charged for granting exclusivity, and a first conversation commits you to nothing.

How long does exclusivity last?

Typically around 12 months. That gives time to work through the grid and planning properly.

What will I sign, and when?

Nothing until you have seen full Heads of Terms. You confirm your own boundary on a map first, so nothing is assumed.

How am I paid if a site goes ahead?

You're paid a fair market rent for the life of the lease.

What do investors get to see?

Site-by-site financial models rather than one blended number, a grid position checked against the network operator's own published data, and a full document room on request.

Can I read this page in Japanese?

Yes. Choose Japanese in the language box at the top of the page. It is a machine translation; the English version is the official one.

No boundary drawn yet. This is optional: we're happy to work it out with you.

We only use your details to reply to you. We never pass them to sales companies.
