ClearGen and Davis Hill Development Forge $150M Multi-Year Partnership to Accelerate Community and Commercial Solar Projects Across the U.S.
ClearGen Holdings LLC, a sustainable infrastructure capital provider, has entered into a multi-year $150 million partnership with Davis Hill Development (DHD), a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyview Ventures, to finance community and commercial solar projects. The partnership will support the construction of DHD's near term distributed solar pipeline of over 245 MW in core Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets, as well as other targeted regions across the US.
This multi-year agreement reflects the accelerating demand for distributed solar as businesses and communities seek cost savings, energy resilience, and meaningful contributions to decarbonization. By combining DHD's proven expertise in navigating complex markets with ClearGen's flexible capital solutions, the partnership will unlock new opportunities for community solar access while delivering long-term economic and environmental value.
"At DHD, we've built a platform known for delivering high-quality distributed energy projects in complex markets, guided by strong values and deep relationships," said Matt Coleman, CEO of Davis Hill Development. "This partnership gives us the committed capital to confidently execute our growing pipeline. As we scale, it's important to align with partners who understand our vision and way of doing business. ClearGen brings the transparency, flexibility, and long-term support that help us grow while staying true to what makes our platform successful."
"We have been extremely impressed by DHD for their experience, commitment, and success," said Rob Howard, CEO of ClearGen. "Our mission is to support innovative energy developers that bring meaningful, economic solutions to market, and this partnership enables the expansion of distributed generation in underserved and high-impact areas."
The partnership is already underway with the first joint project expected to be operational by the end of this year: a 292 kW rooftop solar array on a warehouse building in Washington, D.C. The system will feature 536 Longi 545W modules and is designed to avoid more than 213,000 pounds of CO₂ emissions annually–equivalent to offsetting 224 barrels of oil or powering 20 homes each year. In addition to the environmental benefits, the project creates new revenue for the property by capturing value that had previously been left on the table. This early milestone highlights how ClearGen and DHD are working together to accelerate clean energy adoption while delivering measurable financial returns for property owners.
The alliance expands ClearGen's growing portfolio of clean energy investments–broadening its geographic reach–and reflects its continued focus on advancing decarbonization, energy access, and long-term financial sustainability.
