Pivot Energy

Nationwide solar developer, owner-operator, financier

Overview

Pivot Energy develops, finances, and manages solar and energy storage projects, specializing in community solar and commercial installations. Its products work by allowing customers to subscribe to local solar farms for bill credits or by leasing unused property space to host solar equipment that generates clean power. Unlike many competitors that sell off projects after construction, Pivot operates as a long-term asset owner and a certified B-Corporation that integrates agricultural and pollinator-friendly practices into its sites. The company's goal is to expand access to renewable energy for businesses, individuals, and low-income households while balancing profit with social and environmental performance.
