Who develops community solar and battery storage on land in New York?

Lightstar Renewables develops, owns, and operates both community solar and battery energy storage projects on privately held land across New York. Landowners lease their property to Lightstar and receive fixed annual payments, while Lightstar manages permitting, construction, and long-term operation.

Do I have to sell my land to host a solar or battery storage project?

No. Hosting a project is a lease, not a sale. You retain ownership of your New York property throughout the term of the agreement.

How much land do I need for solar or battery storage in New York?

Community solar typically requires more acreage than battery storage. Standalone battery storage systems have a much smaller footprint, often around 5 acres or less, making them a good fit for landowners with limited adjacent space.

Are solar panels or battery storage systems safe?

Yes. Solar panels are made of non-hazardous materials, and battery storage systems are engineered and sited according to New York state and local safety codes, with oversight from local fire and emergency management officials during permitting.
