Solar Landscape, an Asbury Park, NJ-based provider of a platform for distributed energy infrastructure built on commercial real estate, has raised $125 million in a debt funding round led by M&T Bank.
The round also saw participation from Flagstar Bank, Atlantic Union Bank, and Valley Bank.

The expanded financing facility strengthens Solar Landscapes ability to support its growing pipeline of distributed energy projects while maintaining the flexibility needed to meet rising demand from commercial property owners, utilities and energy customers.
The funding also supports the company’s continued EBITDA growth by providing efficient access to development capital, helping accelerate project development, execution, and deployment.

The facility expands Solar Landscape’s existing partnership with M&T Bank, which originally provided the company’s revolving working capital line. As Solar Landscape’s project pipeline and development activity grew, M&T Bank syndicated the facility to increase available capital and support the company’s expanding development efforts across key markets.
The revolving credit facility provides flexible working capital to support project development and execution. By funding important development activities, it helps projects move more efficiently from initial planning to construction readiness while supporting investment across the company’s growing portfolio.
The company’s funding structure helps speed up the deployment of distributed energy projects at a time when electricity demand is rising across the country. It enables Solar Landscape to bring solar and energy storage projects online more quickly while supporting the company’s continued expansion nationwide.
"Speed-to-power has become one of the defining challenges facing the energy industry," said Clayton Avent, Chief Financial Officer of Solar Landscape. "This partnership, led by M&T Bank, is an important piece of our ability to enable our scale and increase throughput in our core markets. The facility strengthens our development platform, supports predictable execution across our pipeline, and allows us to bring new megawatts online faster at a time when demand for electricity continues to accelerate."
"Solar Landscape has established itself as a leader in distributed energy infrastructure through its ability to execute at scale consistently," said Brian Clark, Head of Commercial Banking, New Jersey at M&T Bank. "We are proud to lead this financing and support the company's continued growth as it delivers critical energy infrastructure to communities across the country."
