How It Works

Simple. Transparent. Made for Landowners.

1. Submit Your Land – No Cost, No Risk
Fill in a quick form or send us your location via WhatsApp. We will assess whether your land is suitable for a solar, wind, or hydro energy project – absolutely free.

2. We Sign a Time-Limited Option Agreement
If your land qualifies, we enter into an exclusive option-to-lease agreement. This gives us the right to market your land to developers for a set period — no rent is due yet. It just means we are serious, and so are you.
3. We Do the Homework and Start Marketing
We package your land with professional due diligence:
  • Grid proximity and access to infrastructure
  • Topography, access roads and site suitability
  • Zoning, title deed and high-level environmental screening
We build a clean land pack, setting your land apart from other options, and pitch it to trusted and vetted renewable energy developers.
4. A Developer Signs – Income Starts
Once a developer is ready to proceed, we present the details to you for final go-ahead, we lock in a formal sub-lease agreement. They begin planning, permitting, and preparing the site.

Rental usually only starts once actual development or construction begins — that is standard across the renewable energy industry. But by then, you have secured a long-term tenant, and the path to passive income is locked in.

What Makes Land Ideal for Solar, Wind or Hydro Energy Development?

We’ll guide you — but here is what developers typically look for:

  • Size: Utility-scale renewable energy developers typically prioritise land parcels of approximately 100 hectares or larger for solar projects (more for wind, access to water sources for hydro). Smaller parcels are generally not commercially viable on their own, unless they form part of a larger aggregated site created with neighbouring landowners.
  • Access: Decent road access
  • Proximity: Close to power lines or substations for solar and wind; streams or dams for hydro
  • Zoning: Agricultural zoning is ideal, specifically grazing land for solar and wind, or near water sources for hydro
  • Topography: Flat or gently sloping for solar and wind; suitable water flow for hydro
  • Low Environmental Risk: Not in protected or high-risk environmental areas

Not sure? Submit anyway — we will check.

Why Landowners Trust Us

Straight Talk. Fair Deals. Real Results.
We get it — farmers and landowners are tired of complicated deals, pushy agents, and empty promises. At WattsWorth, we are building something different: A trusted, independent platform that connects landowners with vetted renewable energy developers — without wasting your time or putting your land at risk.
Built for Farmers, Not Corporates
WattsWorth is proudly South African and designed for the people who keep this country running — the landowners. Whether you are running a family farm or managing commercial land, — we know the pressures you are under, and we are here to create real value, not headaches.
We are Independent
We don’t work for a single developer. We represent you. That means we promote your land fairly and widely, aiming to get you the best rental return from serious, vetted developers.
Simple Contracts, No Hidden Clauses
Our option and lease agreements are clear, risk-free, and easy to understand. No fine print, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you are signing — and we are happy to walk you through every step.
You Keep Control
You do not sell your land. You do not lose your rights. You simply lease a portion of your land — if and when we bring the right developer on board. It is still your land, your call.
We Speak Your Language
No jargon. No spin. Just plain, honest conversation from people who understand rural life and respect what landowners bring to the table.
You Earn When They Build
We do not charge you a cent to list or market your land. In fact, you only start earning once a developer is ready to break ground and begin actual development.

Until then, the land stays in your hands, and we stay on the hustle — doing due diligence, pitching to developers, and working to secure the right deal fast.

Because if you are not earning, neither are we. It is low risk, high potential, and 100% aligned with your success.
