our promise
Dear Landowners
Our hard work is aligned with your interests because a successful project outcome means secured income for all of us. Your land may have been in your family for generations. We understand that committing it to a new future is serious, and has implications to your grandchildren that extend beyond the lucrative outcome. We raised our family on a Pennsylvania maple farm (a hobby) and share the connection to land. Our Principals can name every landowner (hundreds) of each project as we maintain the relationships we built. We pledge to personally be engaged with you from the beginning, along the way, and beyond.

“With commodity pricing being so volatile, it’s nice to be able to rely on steady predictable income from the solar farm.”
– Mark Kolish, Landowner
The goal is to have an operating project that provides consistent income, regardless of the weather, for decades to come.
Project development is a three-step process:
The development stage seeks to attain all the permits, commercial contracts and details necessary for it to be “shovel-ready.” You receive income from the project during this period. Nothing changes about how you operate your property. Landowners can accelerate development success by providing insights into the community. Guidance on everything from zoning to relationships with other stakeholders is welcomed by our management.
Once the project is “shovel-ready” and goes to construction, a much larger investment is made. Your payments from the project increase significantly. Regular uses of the property transform to the responsibility of the solar facility. Your income is secured for decades. You can potentially sell the income stream or the property for a lump sum. Or simply collect the payments.
Upon completion of construction, the project becomes an operating solar farm. The re-use of your land is now benefiting the community and the planet by creating low cost, clean renewable energy. Eventually when the lease ends, the land is restored to its original condition.

“We are thrilled to be included in the Mammoth project. Not only are we excited to be involved in helping the planet become a more sustainable place but the project offers a great business opportunity. ”

“I’m very enthusiastic about the project. I recently watched a similar project get constructed. I visited the site twice a week. I watched them break ground, install the panels on racks and now it’s operating. The panels follow the sun all day. It’s surrounded by a cemetery and an orange grove. They keep it well-manicured. It looks great.”

I come from a multi-generation farming family beginning in Europe now a third generation here in the United States. The changes since our beginning have been dramatic. We have gone from being a consumer of energy to farm our fields to now farming solar fields to produce energy. In addition, I really like the concept of conserving the soil for future generations while still harvesting energy every day.”

“Deciding to give up some prime farm ground was a very tough decision at first but eventually this became a no-brainer. Once we made the decision to lease for solar panels, the process was very quick and simple. Nick, with Doral Renewables LLC, kept us very informed at all times. We didn’t feel pressured to sign the lease agreement at all. We are looking forward to watching all the phases of the project.”
