Construction and term loan facilities support multi-year growth across front-of-meter, community solar distributed generation markets

NEW YORK & ASBURY PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Solar Landscape, the nation’s leading platform for distributed energy infrastructure built on commercial real estate, today announced the closing of a $600 million committed and green-labeled senior debt warehouse facility, supporting forward execution across a growing national pipeline and enabling continued energy deployment at speed and scale.

The financing includes a $350 million three-year revolving construction warehouse and a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility with a five-year tenor. The structure represents the largest revolving senior debt facility of its kind for commercial rooftop distributed energy. The financing is purpose-built to facilitate the company’s increasing project velocity.

“This financing marks a meaningful evolution in how we fund and scale distributed energy,” said Clayton Avent, Chief Financial Officer of Solar Landscape. “As our pipeline has grown, so has the need for a structure that can keep pace. This facility allows us to deploy capital more efficiently across multiple portfolios and markets, increasing the speed at which we can bring new capacity online.”

The facility is anchored by a portfolio of 146 megawatts of community solar assets under construction and late-stage development in Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland and Minnesota. The structure allows a broader mix of future portfolios across community solar and front-of-the-meter distributed generation markets, including in Pennsylvania, Virginia and New York.

The financing was supported by a syndicate of banks and institutional lenders. First Citizens Bank led the transaction, alongside KeyBank National Association and National Bank of Canada, which also served as Green Loan Structuring Agent. Atlas, Apterra Infrastructure Capital, Siemens Financial Services, Inc., and BankUnited, N.A. served as Joint Lead Arrangers, with Mitsubishi HC Capital America, Inc. and Amalgamated Bank also participating in the transaction.

“This transaction reflects the continued growth of distributed generation as an asset class,” said Mike Lorusso, Head of Energy Finance, First Citizens Bank. “Solar Landscape has developed a scalable, repeatable model for deploying solar power on commercial real estate. This financing structure is well aligned with the company’s ability to execute at speed across multiple markets.”

A Financing Model Built for Scale

The demand for power continues to accelerate. Driven by data centers, electrification, and load growth, distributed infrastructure built within existing load centers is emerging as one of the fastest and most efficient ways to deliver new capacity, without the delays associated with transmission buildout or rurally sited greenfield development.

As this demand for power increases across the country, Solar Landscape’s proven development model of deploying solar and storage across commercial and industrial rooftops and properties has expanded rapidly. By deploying distributed resources, the company helps reduce electricity costs for ratepayers while delivering new capacity directly within existing utility footprints.

The velocity of Solar Landscape’s project execution requires a financing structure that can keep pace, particularly during construction, where timing and capital efficiency are critical. Unlike discrete portfolio financings, this revolving structure enables continuous capital deployment and a high degree of flexibility across multiple projects and geographies, reducing friction between site control origination, construction, and operation. The delayed draw term loan component further enhances flexibility and optimizes the structure for project and portfolio-level operation.
