4th Generation Monarch is a community solar garden developer founded by a fifth-generation farmer. We believe the best deals are the ones where everyone wins — landowners earn steady income, subscribers save on electricity, and developers get projects across the finish line. That’s not just a business model. That’s how we were raised.
4th Generation Monarch is a community solar garden developer that does things differently. Our founder grew up on a fifth-generation family farm, so we understand what land means to the people who own it — and what a handshake is supposed to stand for.
We develop, acquire, and finance community solar projects across the country. But more than that, we build relationships. With the landowners who trust us with their property. With the subscribers who count on us for savings. And with the fellow developers who need a partner, not a competitor.
Our philosophy is simple: grow the pie so there’s more for everyone.
Lease income, land stays yours
Clean energy, real savings
Capital, acquisition, partnership
I grew up on a fifth-generation family farm. I know the weight of a property tax bill when commodity prices are down, and the pit in your stomach when you have to go to the bank.
Community solar leasing lets you plant a different kind of crop — one that pays every single month, rain or shine, for decades. You can keep full ownership of your land or sell to us at a premium. Not only is this good for you and your community, but it’s good business too.
Competitive per-acre lease rates with built-in annual escalation. Rain or shine.
You decide.
We pay for development, construction, equipment, maintenance, and insurance.
When the lease ends, we restore your land to original condition. It’s in the contract.

You don’t need a rooftop, a big budget, or a long-term commitment to go solar. When you subscribe to a 4th Generation Monarch community solar garden, you receive credits on your electric bill for the clean energy our local solar garden produces. It’s that simple. You only pay us, once you’ve gotten savings.
Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, small business, or municipality — if you have a utility bill, you can save. No panels on your roof, no equipment to maintain, no surprises.
Renters, condo owners, and anyone with a utility bill can participate.
Solar credits hit your bill from day one. Predictable, locked-in rates.
Your subscription powers a solar garden in your community, not a distant state.
Move, cancel, or adjust as life changes. We work around you.
If you’re a community solar developer with projects that need safe harbor, a buyer, or a financing partner — we want to talk. 4th Generation Monarch acquires and finances community solar projects from developers at every stage, from late-stage development through operational assets.
We’re not here to lowball you or re-trade you. We’re here to help you get projects across the finish line, move capital off your books, and keep building. Our philosophy is partnership, not competition — because the market is big enough for everyone when you grow the pie together.
We buy any stage of community solar projects. Fair pricing, fast close, clean and simple MIPA.
Worried about safe harbor? We have a solve that doesn’t put you at risk of re-trades.
We structure financing that maximizes ITC value and brings the right capital partners to the table.
Not a one-off deal. We build long-term relationships with developers who share our values.
From first call to closed deal, we move with urgency and respect.
Tell us about your project — stage, size, location, and what you need.
Quick, transparent review. No months of silence. We give you a clear answer within days.
Acquisition, financing, or partnership — we build the deal that works for both sides.
Fast execution, clean paperwork, and a handshake that means something.
Whether you’re a landowner exploring a lease, a homeowner looking to save, or a developer with a project that needs a partner — we’d love to hear from you.
