Financial Prowess

Being backed by a publicly-traded company like Genie Energy, Genie Solar Energy brings significant financial stability and reliability, which is a considerable advantage for landowners considering leasing their property for a solar project. This financial strength ensures that Genie Solar Energy can see projects through from inception to operation without the risk of bankruptcy that might plague less financially secure competitors.

Moreover, whereas competitors might lack the funds to complete a project and be forced to sell it, Genie Solar Energy’s robust financial backing allows it to maintain ownership and direct control throughout the project’s lifecycle. For landowners, this means greater security in the lease agreement, timely and reliable lease payments, and the assurance that the project will be managed by a seasoned team with a solid track record in the energy market.
