Your Real Estate Has Real Value. Put It to Work.
SolaREIT™ helps solar and battery storage developers unlock the real estate under their projects to create a new pool of capital. Since 2020, we have financed land under utility-scale solar, community solar, distributed generation, battery energy storage (BESS), and substation & transmission infrastructure projects representing more than $7.5B in project value.
Three Ways to Unlock Your Project Capital
Support Solar, Storage, and Infrastructure Projects Across All Markets
- Utility-scale solar
- Community solar
- Distributed generation (DG) solar
- Battery energy storage (BESS) projects (both DG and utility-scale)
- Substations and transmission infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
ExpandAll we need to start the pricing process is a copy of your lease agreement.
What can I do with the capital?
ExpandAnything you want, since this is unrestricted capital. Developers typically redeploy funds to cover interconnection deposits, equipment financing, additional site acquisitions or site control payments, or advancing development milestones across their portfolios.
How long does it take to close?
ExpandDepending on your timeline, SolaREIT can close within 30-45 days of signing. To date, 100% of our transactions have closed on time.
What if I don’t want to sell the land?
ExpandYou don’t have to. If your preference is to retain ownership, our lease purchase and land loan solutions provide an upfront lump sum payment without an exchange of ownership.
Many developers find that traditional lenders lack the sector-specific expertise and flexibility required for land and infrastructure transactions. The result is often lengthy underwriting, rigid structures, and capital that doesn’t align with development timelines. Banks often don’t recognize the full value of the land with a solar, storage or infrastructure project on it, offering a much lower appraised value of the land than SolaREIT. Lastly, our diligence is streamlined, allowing us to move much more quickly than a bank.
SolaREIT brings the same financial tools, but with deep experience in the solar industry. We structure and deploy capital efficiently, aligned with how developers actually build projects, and on timelines that keep pipelines moving.
Are your rates competitive?
ExpandYes. We offer developers access to market-competitive rates and work hard to provide the best value to our partners.
Do you operate in all 50 states?
ExpandYes. Our solutions are available nationwide.
How can we be confident in SolaREIT's financial stability?
ExpandWorking with debt and capital partners, we have more than $1 billion committed to deploy to solar and battery storage developers, project owners, and landowners. Our institutional capital partners believe in our vision and are partnering with SolaREIT for the future.
My capital stack is already in place. Why would I add another layer?
ExpandSolaREIT sits outside your traditional capital stack — we’re not a lender competing with your tax equity or debt partners. We work alongside existing financing structures, not against them. Freeing up capital from land doesn’t disrupt what’s already in place; it gives you more flexibility within it.
This sounds complicated. How much work does it actually take on our end?
ExpandWe pride ourselves on simplicity and ease of working with us. All we need to get started is a copy of your lease or purchase option agreement. From there, we handle the diligence and documentation. Most of our partners describe our process as the simplest transaction they’ve done — and we close in as few as 30 to 45 days.
We typically secure leases, not purchase options. Does that work for SolaREIT?
ExpandYes. Our lease purchase and land loan solutions are designed specifically for developers who hold leases rather than purchase options. You don’t need to own or control the land outright to work with us — and in many cases, a lease is all we need to unlock meaningful capital for your pipeline.
Why change our land strategy if it's working?
ExpandYou don’t have to change it. What SolaREIT offers is a way to make your existing land strategy work harder. Whether you hold leases or purchase options, we can help you turn that position into unrestricted capital — so your land isn’t just a project input, it’s a funding source.
