I'm new to the forum but very happy I found it. A partner and I have been in some serious discussion and number crunching on building a relatively large ground installation farm at around 200kw. Out initial thoughts were a complete off-grid system using a large battery bank for non-sunlight times. The PPA agreements for our area, however, turned out to be a bit more favorable than we initially planned for so we are now looking at a grid-tied system with no batteries but back up generators for emergencies.
The electricity produced by the farm would be used for our own purposes for around 1-2 years during which time we are considering developing the 2-acre lot of land for manufactured homes. My question is how can we determine how much value is added to the development if there is a farm of that size on it? Or, does it add any actual value at all? Is it better to simply part the hardware out to recoup some of our costs when we are finished with our initial 1-2 year project?
I know there are a lot of "depends" qualifiers that need to be answered here, but I'm really just looking for general answers if anyone's knowledgeable in the re-selling of farms or anything related.
Thanks in advance.
