Laura Pagliarulo, CEO and Co-Founder of SolaREIT, recently joined Nico Johnson on the SunCast podcast to discuss how leading solar and battery storage developers are treating project real estate as part of a broader capital strategy.
In the episode, Laura shares how developers can leverage land purchases, lease purchases, and land loans to unlock flexible capital for interconnection deposits, safe harbor payments, portfolio growth, and other development needs. She also discusses what SolaREIT has learned from six years of financing renewable energy real estate and why repeat partners are increasingly incorporating land financing into their capital planning.
