olaREIT, a Virginia‑based REIT that supplies land‑capital solutions for solar and battery‑storage projects, has secured a $200 million long‑term debt line from SLC Management, the fixed‑income arm of Sun Life Financial. The facility will fund the company’s land‑purchase, lease‑purchase and loan programs across the United States, enabling faster, more flexible financing for developers of solar farms and battery‑energy‑storage systems (BESS).

    “We’re thrilled to partner with SLC Management,” said SolaREIT CEO Laura Pagliarulo. “This commitment gives us scalable, low‑cost capital at a time when developers need it most and signals growing institutional confidence in our model.”

    The debt structure is designed to support future issuances, positioning SolaREIT to meet rising capital demands as federal policies evolve and storage projects grow. Its financing tools are highly adaptable, matching each developer’s timeline, strategy and long‑term goals. Since its 2020 launch, SolaREIT has financed more than $3 billion of solar and storage real estate nationwide and closed over $125 million in BESS transactions since adding storage services last year.

    SolaREIT is a minority‑ and women‑owned REIT founded by clean‑energy veterans with expertise in finance, development and community solar. The firm’s mission is to accelerate the clean‑energy economy through flexible land financing.

    SLC Management, a global asset‑management group under Sun Life Financial, offers institutional investors fixed‑income, real‑estate equity and debt solutions. Its U.S. and Canadian entities, along with BGO, InfraRed, Crescent and AAM, manage assets that total C$408 billion (US$300 billion) as of June 30 2025, excluding assets under administration. AAM adds roughly C$13 billion (US$9 billion) in assets under administration.
