What does it take to bring more solar power closer to American communities? For SolAmerica Energy, the answer lies in securing strong financial backing to scale its distributed solar projects. The Atlanta-based solar developer has just secured $100 million in financing from Deutsche Bank, marking another milestone in its rapid growth trajectory under the ownership of AB CarVal funds.

The new funding comes in the form of a revolving credit facility, giving SolAmerica flexible access to capital at various stages of development. This structure allows the company to move quickly—from project origination to procurement to construction—ensuring that solar projects can be deployed efficiently. It also represents SolAmerica’s third major financing since its 2023 acquisition by AB CarVal funds, following a $50 million construction loan and more than $80 million raised through a tax equity sale-leaseback transaction. Together, these financings underline growing investor confidence in SolAmerica’s distributed solar strategy.

With over 300 MW of solar projects already developed across 11 states and 100 counties, SolAmerica is no stranger to regional clean energy leadership. The company currently manages a pipeline exceeding 1.5 GW, much of it focused on community-scale solar that delivers local benefits while strengthening the broader grid. The new financing will be used for development activities, procurement of critical equipment such as modules and inverters, and the construction of new projects across the eastern United States. By tapping this revolving facility, SolAmerica gains both agility and scale in advancing its projects.

Owned by funds managed by AB CarVal, a global alternative investment manager under AllianceBernstein, SolAmerica is positioning itself as a key player in distributed generation. The latest deal not only secures the capital needed to grow but also demonstrates how financial innovation can accelerate the deployment of solar where it matters most—closer to homes, businesses, and communities. For Deutsche Bank, this transaction reflects a growing appetite for sustainable finance opportunities tied to tangible renewable infrastructure.

SolAmerica’s partnership with Deutsche Bank highlights how community-scale solar is moving from niche to mainstream, supported by innovative financing and strong investor backing. As the company advances its 1.5 GW pipeline, it is set to deliver cleaner, more resilient power to communities across the eastern US.
