PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary - The solar farm industry has been growing over the last several years and is expected to experience significant growth for years to come. Electricity generated from solar power has been on the rise over the last decade and is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources in the U.S. More and more solar energy developments have been set up with large-scale ground-mounted solar and private rooftop installations alongside the utility-scale solar. Solar farms are an attractive long-term investment these days. The revenue on the solar farm is worth the investment as the recurring revenue will pay dividends for years. It has been said that this technology is the foundation that will allow for a clean energy economy. Solar farms are photovoltaic power stations consisting of photovoltaic panels (PV), also known as solar panels. Their means are to collect solar energy and to harvest the power of the sun. These farms are remarkably different from rooftop solar systems and commercial solar power systems. Also known as solar parks and solar power stations, solar farms usually consist of ground-mounted solar panels installed across large areas operating as power plants, generating electricity and supply it to a power grid to consumers. Active Companies in the markets today include Green Stream Holdings Inc. (OTCPK: GSFI), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR), iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN), Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW).

Large solar projects can vary in their types, for example they can be set up as community solar farms or solar farms at utility-scale. And sometimes large solar energy consumers build their own solar farms purely for their use – onsite or off-site. Community solar allows people to generate electricity from the sun even if they do not own property or roofs by sharing the electricity of the solar power plant between more than one property. The members of the community share the benefits of solar power and save costs by receiving the generated electricity which costs less than the prices offered by their utility companies. The installation of the panels can be funded through a loan. Some states, non-government organizations or utility companies offer subsidized solar loans with reduced interest rates to finance the purchase of solar panel systems. Another option is to create a cooperative group and allow members of the community to both invest in and benefit from the scheme. Those investors who have the necessary capital can purchase the land. If the purchase is not desirable, leasing the needed area of land is the second option and the leasing agreement should be ideally set up for a long-term period, on average for 40 to 50 years. This will ensure a maximum return on the investment
