SolaREIT, a renewable energy real estate investment company, has surpassed $8.5 billion in clean energy project value financed, marking a significant milestone in its support for the solar and battery energy storage sectors in the United States. The company has provided real estate financing for approximately 4.6 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy projects across the country.
SolaREIT offers flexible capital solutions to renewable energy developers and project owners through solar and storage land purchases, lease purchases, and land loans. Its financing solutions are available across all 50 US states, supporting utility-scale solar, distributed generation solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and associated infrastructure, including substations and transmission land.
Laura Pagliarulo, Co-Founder and CEO of SolaREIT, said the company aims to serve as a trusted financial partner for renewable energy developers, particularly in a market facing capital constraints. She highlighted that higher interest rates and changing government policies have created challenges for the clean energy industry. In this environment, land assets beneath renewable energy projects provide developers with an opportunity to unlock capital and strengthen their financial position.
Pagliarulo added that crossing the $8.5 billion project value milestone reflects the confidence and trust that project developers and partners have placed in the company. SolaREIT’s team brings more than 300 years of combined experience in the clean energy sector, enabling it to support developers with complex financing requirements.
Laura Klein, CFO and COO of SolaREIT, highlighted the importance of speed and flexibility in renewable energy financing. She explained that developers face changing interconnection deadlines and procurement schedules, making timely access to capital essential. The company structures its due diligence process around existing project information to simplify financing arrangements.
According to Klein, SolaREIT can complete transactions within 30 to 45 days after signing, helping developers access capital within predictable timelines. The milestone reflects the growing role of specialised real estate financing in supporting clean energy project development and expansion across the United States.
