Solar developers usually require a minimum of 10 acres for a solar farm. As a general rule of thumb, solar farms require 5 acres per 1 MW DC. In addition to the actual land required for a solar farm, local towns and authorities having jurisdiction usually do not allow full coverage of the entire parcel. Traditionally, local towns only allow you to cover 60% of the total acreage with a solar farm. Therefore, if we have 10 acres of land we can generally only utilize 6 acres after setbacks and zoning restrictions.
