The Real Estate Powering America's Energy Transition
SolaREIT™ is a specialized real estate investment company focused on the land beneath solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and substation and transmission land financing.
Where Institutional Standards Meet Clean Energy Real Estate
SolaREIT™ runs on a foundation of institutional discipline, applying standardized underwriting, repeatable documentation, formal approvals, and consistent execution across a diversified national footprint. Our model addresses a widespread dilemma in clean energy: project deployment is often constrained by locked-in capital. We focus on financing the real estate that enables renewable energy projects to move forward.
Scale and Capital Capacity
- Founded in 2020
- $7.5B+ in clean energy project value financed
- Nearly 4 GW of BESS and solar projects supported
- Growth capital partnership: $250M commitment from AB CarVal
- Long-term debt capacity: $200M facility with SLC Management
- Bank liquidity: $80M revolving facility
Focused Expertise in the Real Estate Beneath Solar and Storage Projects
Clean energy development achieves scale through locked-in capital. SolaREIT evaluates and finances land positions once projects are derisked, drawing from our deep expertise in solar, real estate, and finance, with the speed and discipline that institutional partners expect.
Sourcing Advantage
ExpandWe originate directly with developers and landowners nationwide, focusing on real estate positions tied to solar, storage, and associated infrastructure projects at the start of construction, during construction, or during operations. Our approach supports both single-asset closings and repeatable, programmatic deployment across portfolios and markets.
Underwriting Discipline
ExpandOur underwriting is built around contractual cashflows, locked-in capital quality, and clear paths through development milestones. We emphasize tight documentation and thorough diligence, conservative downside planning, and structures designed to remain resilient through permitting, interconnection, and timeline variability. Our process is designed to make it easy for developers to engage with us.
Asset Management and Operations
ExpandWe manage real estate positions with precision, professionalism, and rigor: standardized closing processes, ongoing portfolio monitoring, and proactive coordination on title, taxes, and assignments to reduce friction as projects progress.
Risk Management and Governance

How We Deploy Capital
- Land Purchase (Fee Simple) Long-duration ownership of strategic sites supporting solar and battery storage as well as the associated project infrastructure, structured as land purchases with long-term lease economics.
- Lease Purchases Contractual cashflows secured by leases, structured through acquisition of an easement and assignment of land leases supporting solar, storage, and infrastructure projects.
- Real Estate-Backed Loans Structured yield secured by real estate and lease economics, with loans supported by land and lease value and related contractual rights.
What Sets Us Apart
- Programmatic Capital Partnerships Repeatable deployment across portfolios and geographies, structured across multiple projects using standardized terms. SolaREIT is the real estate finance partner for many large national developers.
- Community and Distributed Generation Portfolio Deployment Diversification through smaller, repeatable site-control positions supporting community and distributed generation portfolios.
- Substation and Transmission Land Financing Exposure to infrastructure-adjacent powered land including substations and transmission lines where siting is critical, structured as real estate positions supporting enabling infrastructure and interconnection adjacency.
Real Estate is the Linchpin of Clean Energy Growth
Clean energy deployment depends on securing and holding the right sites: land positioned for interconnection, permitting, and proximity to load. As projects scale, developers often face a capital bottleneck in early development stages. SolaREIT’s strategy targets that bottleneck directly, providing real estate capital solutions that enable solar and storage development to proceed without land consuming disproportionate developer liquidity.
SolaREIT actively manages concentration risk across technology type, project scale, and geography — building a diversified portfolio of real estate positions that is not overly exposed to any single market, region, or development segment. We deploy across utility solar, community and distributed solar, utility and distributed storage, and substation & transmission land financing, applying consistent underwriting discipline within each segment to evaluate site quality, counterparty strength, and development credibility. This breadth allows our portfolio to remain resilient as federal and local policies evolve, and as queue dynamics, permitting timelines, and market conditions shift by region.
