About Peachtree Energy

Georgia-based solar ownership for commercial and industrial facilities.

Peachtree Energy is a distributed solar generation developer and asset owner focused on behind-the-meter projects that reduce energy cost, complexity, and long-term utility power price exposure.

Who we are

A long-term owner, not just a project developer.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Peachtree Energy targets commercial and industrial behind-the-meter projects ranging from 500kW to 50MW. The company develops, owns, operates, and maintains the solar asset on or near the customer property.

Customers purchase the clean electricity produced by the system through a pre-agreed PPA rate. Peachtree manages site assessment, proposal development, permitting, construction coordination, utility approvals, interconnection, and ongoing operations.

Leadership Team

The people behind development, ownership, and operations.

Peachtree Energy coordinates the commercial, technical, and operational disciplines needed to deliver projects from assessment through long-term performance.
