Summit Ridge: Quiet Giant of the Solar Boom
Launched in 2017, Summit Ridge Energy, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, has rapidly emerged as a national leader in commercial solar. The company now controls over 2 gigawatts of solar projects either operational or in development across seven states, including Maryland, Virginia, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maine.
With more than 40,000 homes and businesses already benefiting from its energy solutions, Summit Ridge has also raised over $5 billion in project capital—financing more than 200 solar farms.
Chief Investment Officer Adam Kuehne pointed to the broader implications of their work:
“We’re advancing a more reliable and locally driven energy system,” he said. “This partnership will help create thousands of jobs and deliver tangible savings for American consumers and businesses.”
Lawyers Behind the Light
Apollo was legally steered by Orrick’s Jeff Quinn-Cane, who led the deal team. Legal counsel for Summit Ridge has yet to be disclosed, though more details are expected as the venture unfolds.
