Capital Partners
As an independently-owned renewable energy development and finance company, Pine Gate works with lenders and capital partners to maximize value at every stage of a project’s lifecycle, from land origination to asset management.
Solar energy development is booming. According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the U.S. solar market will install nearly 100GWdc of solar within the next five years – a 42% increase since 2015.
Companies across the country, along with city and state officials are all looking for more ways to incorporate renewable energy into their overall energy generation plans. With negotiated fixed energy rates, our EPC partnership with Blue Ridge Power and our savvy financial team, Pine Gate’s solar projects offer extremely attractive long-term investment opportunities.

Landowners
Our landowners are the backbone of getting solar done. We consider ourselves partners and good stewards of our landowner’s property, helping to create an attractive investment opportunity for future generations.
Like any good business, we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with the landowners we work with. We rely on clear communication and follow-through so they are informed about the process of building a solar site, and the benefits it brings to them and the community at large.
5 Landowner Benefits:
- Competitive Terms - Generous lease and purchase terms.
- White Glove Service - Clear communication and partnership for every step of development.
- We Do all the Work - No responsibility for equipment or development.
- Reduced Tax Liability - We pay the property taxes on the land we lease.
- Long-term Financial Asset - A long-term lease can provide income for generations to come.

Communities
Every step of the way, we work with local communities to create jobs, bring tax dollars and contribute to the betterment of the locations in which we operate. We collaborate with various local elected officials, residents, environmental organizations and partners in each community.
During the construction process, we’re a part of the local community for approximately a year and we look for ways to contribute beyond just the solar projects themselves.
Construction of our large-scale solar projects also leads to increased activity at local hotels and restaurants, business for local heavy machinery rental companies and substantial revenue to local governments.
