Low-productivity land is becoming valuable for solar in Portugal

In parts of southern Portugal, large areas of land are dry and difficult to farm productively. That is leading more landowners to consider solar as a practical use of land that otherwise generates limited economic output. As renewable targets expand, this kind of land becomes more relevant because it is often easier to allocate without displacing productive agriculture.

This fits the Solar45 rationale because solar projects need suitable land, and development tends to be more straightforward when landowners are aligned and the land is not competing with high-value farming use. It is one of the reasons Solar45 concentrates on Portugal and builds a defined development pipeline around practical land availability.

As renewable build-out accelerates, capital increasingly favours projects that can move through development without avoidable friction. Land suitability and landowner alignment are part of what makes a pipeline more deliverable on real-world timelines.

Solar45 is a Portugal-centric, renewable energy opportunity designed for eligible investors. Solar45 is the successor to the popular Santa Marta Bond, which paid investors 20% per annum and redeemed in full in December 2025. Solar45 represents the next phase in this attractive strategy. The Solar45 Opportunities Bond is structured to pay a 45% fixed return at maturity over a 3-year term (as set out in the offering materials).
