Unlock Australia's Solar Investment Opportunity

Australia's solar sector offers some of the world's most attractive renewable energy investment returns. With stable government policy frameworks, long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), ARENA funding support and strong sunlight resources, solar farms deliver predictable cash flows over 20–30 year horizons.

AkshaySolar helps you identify, evaluate and participate in the right opportunities — whether you're investing $100K or $100M.

Equity Investment

Take ownership stakes in solar farm developments or operational assets. Returns vary by project stage, technology, PPA terms and financing structure — seek independent financial advice for project-specific modelling.

Debt Financing

Provide project finance or mezzanine debt to solar developers. Secured against project assets and long-term PPA revenue streams.

SMSF / Fund Investment

Solar farm structures compatible with SMSF investment requirements. We connect you with compliant wholesale investment vehicles.

Co-Investment Syndication

Join syndicates of like-minded investors to access large-scale projects typically only available to institutional investors.

Turn Your Land into a 25-Year Income Stream

Australian landholders with suitable rural properties are increasingly leasing land to solar developers. This creates a guaranteed passive income stream that isn't subject to commodity price fluctuations, drought or market cycles — while often allowing continued agricultural use.

$600–$1,500 per hectare per year — indicative lease income range, varies by location and project scale
20–25 years typical solar land lease term — providing long-term income security
2–4 ha/MW typical land required per MW of generation capacity

Lease rates depend on project size, grid proximity, location and negotiated terms. Contact us for an assessment of your specific property.

Is My Land Suitable?

We assess your property for solar suitability including solar irradiance, slope, proximity to grid connection, zoning and EPBC constraints.

Agrivoltaics — Dual Income

In many cases sheep grazing continues beneath solar panels. Research confirms improved wool yields. Earn two income streams from the same land.

Lease Negotiation

We advocate for landowners in lease negotiations to ensure fair rates, community benefit requirements, rehabilitation bonds and clear exit provisions.

Community Benefit

Help ensure your solar project delivers community benefit funds, local employment, road maintenance and infrastructure contributions.

Australia's Carbon Market — Register, Earn & Trade

Australia's carbon market operates through the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme, administered by the Clean Energy Regulator. Solar and renewable energy projects can generate ACCUs by avoiding or sequestering emissions. ACCUs trade on the secondary market and are also purchased directly by the Clean Energy Regulator via the Government's Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC) program.

The Safeguard Mechanism (reformed 2024) requires Australia's largest industrial emitters (261+ facilities) to reduce net emissions over time — creating sustained demand for ACCUs as a compliance tool. This provides a durable and expanding market for project proponents.

ACCU Project Registration

We assist eligible solar, renewable energy and emissions-avoidance projects to register under approved ACCU methods with the Clean Energy Regulator, and guide you through the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) process.

Safeguard Mechanism Advisory

Help for covered facilities to understand their baselines, compliance obligations, and use of ACCUs or internationally recognised offsets (under ITMO arrangements) to meet their net emissions limits.

Carbon Abatement Contracts

Guidance on participating in reverse auctions run by the Clean Energy Regulator to secure fixed-price contracts for ACCUs — providing revenue certainty for your project over 5–7 year terms.

Voluntary Market & Corporate Offsetting

For businesses and solar developers seeking to offset residual emissions or offer carbon-neutral products, we advise on voluntary ACCU procurement, co-benefits certification and communications compliance (ACCC guidelines).

Verified ACCU Market Data
