The ‘solar gardeners’, who mostly live in cities hours away, are getting returns of $505, possibly higher, locked in for the next decade, depending on the electricity market

The returns are credited directly to their electricity bills.

So a non refundable return of over 10% with an expected break even at year 10. Hmm, that's not a good investment. Also I adds no value to your property.

I'm gonna call it, the farmer put up $100k in solar and sold it for $200k with a dividend plan for what it produces.
