SolaREIT, a real estate investment company specializing in solar and battery storage, announced a long-term debt commitment of $200 million from SLC Management, the institutional asset management arm of Sun Life Financial Inc. The facility will support SolaREIT's core offerings, including land purchases, lease purchases, and land loans for solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) developers nationwide.
Laura Pagliarulo, CEO of SolaREIT, stated, "This partnership with SLC Management strengthens our ability to deliver fast, flexible capital to developers, at a time when they need it most. The facility reflects growing institutional confidence in our business model and provides scalable access to low-cost capital in a challenging financing environment."
The debt facility is structured to accommodate future issuances, enabling SolaREIT to respond to increasing developer demand. As energy storage and solar projects face rising capital requirements and evolving federal policies, SolaREIT's tailored land financing solutions offer a competitive advantage. Since its founding in 2020, the company has financed real estate for projects valued at over $3 billion across the United States. It began offering services for energy storage last year and has since closed more than $125 million in BESS transactions.
SLC Management, which oversees approximately C$408 billion (US$300 billion) in assets as of June 30, 2025, provides institutional investors with traditional, alternative, and yield-oriented investment solutions. The partnership underscores the growing interest from institutional investors in renewable energy infrastructure.
