Solar Landscape Secures $175M Partnership with PGIM Private Capital
Asbury Park, NJ-based Solar Landscape, a leading commercial rooftop solar developer, has partnered with PGIM Private Capital in a $175 million long-term institutional shelf debt facility to finance 74 solar projects across Maryland and Illinois. Spanning three million square feet of commercial rooftops, these projects will generate nearly 43 megawatts (DC) of solar capacity, feeding electricity directly into the distributed grid.
“Commercial rooftop solar is America’s most shovel-ready energy source, and this financing enables us to build more and build it faster,” said Clayton Avent, CFO of Solar Landscape. The partnership builds on Walmart’s tax equity investment in the portfolio, announced in October 2024, with further deployments planned for 2025 and beyond.
For PGIM Private Capital, the investment aligns with its commitment to clean energy. “By building solar projects on existing commercial buildings, Solar Landscape is deploying energy quickly, efficiently, and close to where it will be used, making it a sound investment in our energy future,” said Ingrida Soldatova, Senior Principal, Real Assets—Power at PGIM Private Capital.
Over a dozen projects in Maryland have recently been energized, with the remaining portfolio expected to be operational in 2025, enhancing community access to sustainable energy.
