Solar Landscape, the nation’s leading platform for distributed energy infrastructure built on commercial real estate, today announced the closing of a development financing facility of up to $150 million with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (“CIP”), through its Green Credit Fund II (CI GCF II), providing flexible capital to accelerate the development of distributed solar projects across the company’s growing national pipeline.
The facility will initially support a discrete portfolio representing approximately 250 MWdc of mid- and late-stage development assets, allowing Solar Landscape to advance critical project activities, including equipment procurement, interconnection, offtake, and pre-construction sponsor development services earlier in the project lifecycle. By accelerating these activities, the company can move projects more efficiently from early-stage development to the beginning of construction, which will in turn bring new electricity generation online faster.
This facility will further provide the flexibility to support forward flow portfolio execution as Solar Landscape continues to scale its development platform and builds on a series of investments and structured finance transactions completed by Solar Landscape over the past year, including a $600 million senior debt facility, a $125 million corporate revolving credit facility, and a $117 million preferred equity investment. Together, these investments bring Solar Landscape’s total capital raised over the last three years to more than $2.2Bn and demonstrate continued institutional confidence in Solar Landscape’s differentiated platform and its ability to execute distributed energy infrastructure at scale.
The transaction represents a throughput accelerant for Solar Landscape. Backed by flexible, early-stage capital from global infrastructure investor Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), this facility enables the company to advance projects earlier in the development cycle, increase platform throughput, and accelerate the deployment of distributed energy infrastructure needed to meet America’s growing electricity demand as one of the nation’s fastest paths to new generation.
“As demand for electricity continues to accelerate, the ability to efficiently raise and deploy capital across the totality of the development lifecycle is becoming an increasingly important competitive advantage,” said Clayton Avent, Chief Financial Officer of Solar Landscape. “We deeply appreciate CIP’s partnership in providing us with revolving development capital that increases the throughput of our development platform, allowing us to advance projects more efficiently and bring new distributed energy infrastructure online faster. Just as importantly, it reflects the confidence that sophisticated institutional investors have in our structured finance and execution capabilities as well as our long-term growth strategy.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Solar Landscape,” said Reiner Boehning, Partner at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. “Solar Landscape’s rooftop community solar projects are precisely what the market needs right now. On a constrained PJM grid where demand is surging, generation that plugs directly into the local distribution system brings new supply online quickly and lowers costs for ratepayers. CIP’s scalable capital will support these projects and the company’s continued growth, and we look forward to building on this partnership in the years ahead.” This facility is CI GCF II’s fourth investment following its first close of EUR 1.3bn in March 2026.
Overall, this transaction further strengthens Solar Landscape’s ability to rapidly develop and deploy distributed energy infrastructure across its growing national portfolio, helping utilities, commercial real estate owners, and communities bring new renewable generation online faster to meet America’s accelerating demand for power. It also reinforces the company’s strategy of delivering the fastest path to power, at scale, through proven execution and capital markets expertise.
