SolaREIT, a renewable energy real estate investment company, announced on November 12, 2026, that it has provided real estate financing for approximately 4.6 GW of clean energy projects valued at more than $8.5 billion. The financed projects include solar and battery energy storage systems, while the company’s broader scope also covers associated substation and transmission land.
The milestone reflects an increase of more than $3.5 billion in project value since November 2025. SolaREIT offers solar and storage land purchases, lease purchases, and land loans across all 50 states. Its capital solutions serve utility-scale solar, distributed generation solar, battery storage, and related infrastructure.
According to the company, the financing allows developers and project owners to convert project real estate into capital. SolaREIT said it bases its due diligence on information developers already have about their projects and can close transactions within 30 to 45 days of signing. The company identified changing interconnection deadlines and procurement plans as reasons developers may need capital on schedules aligned with project timelines.
Laura Pagliarulo, co-founder and CEO of SolaREIT, said higher interest rates and shifting policy have contributed to a capital-constrained environment for developers. She also said land beneath projects is among the assets that can be converted into capital quickly. The company reported that its team has more than 300 years of collective experience in clean energy.
Based in Virginia, SolaREIT was founded in 2020 as a real estate investment trust by clean energy industry veterans. The woman-owned and led business works with developers and landowners nationwide, providing real estate capital for solar, battery storage, substation, and transmission sites.
