They paid me $2000 a year to let them stick a giant solar panel in my field. I am just leasing the land to them basically, they make all the money off whatever hydro it generates. I also had the option of buying the solar panel myself for around $70000, then I'd be able to make the money off the hydro. But $2000 a year for 25 years guaranteed seemed like the safer bet, with no expense or work on my behalf (other than a slight eye sore)
All it would take is for some hillbilly to drive by and shoot it up or if there was ever an issue with the batteries, etc and your profit would be gone. Now I'm still making money but someone else has to worry about maintaining it.
