By Ecomac Energy Team · 16 June 2026

Power Purchase Agreements let landowners earn long-term income without spending a cent on infrastructure.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract where SunMac Solar finances, builds, and operates a solar farm on your land. You receive a lease payment and a share of revenue across 20-30 years. We handle planning, DA approvals, grid connection, construction and ongoing O&M — you simply collect a recurring cheque. We have ideal-fit sites ranging from 20 to 500+ acres across NSW, QLD and VIC. This post breaks down typical $/acre returns, planning timelines, and the technical considerations that determine whether your land is a strong candidate.
