Authorizes construction, installation, and operation of solar energy generating facilities, structures, and equipment on preserved farmland, in certain cases, pursuant to lease agreement executed between landowner and solar developer.

This bill allows solar energy facilities to be built on preserved farmland in New Jersey through lease agreements between landowners and solar developers. It permits these installations as long as they do not significantly interfere with farming activities and include specific requirements for lease terms, maintenance responsibilities, and land restoration after the lease ends. The legislation sets limits on how much energy can be generated and requires approval from a state committee before construction begins. Landowners must also ensure the solar equipment is used to power the farm or reduce energy costs through net metering programs.
