Third Pillar

Developing the next wave of solar energy

Municipal and industrial waterbodies have been historically overlooked in the search for suitable land for solar development that everyone can agree on.
‍
Founded in 2021, Third Pillar Solar is an American energy company that partners with waterbody and brownfield site owners to transform underused real-estate into valuable energy projects.
‍
By focusing equally on the community, environmental, and economic value of projects, we develop assets that we are proud to own and operate long-term.

WHY FLOAT WITH THIRD PILLAR?

Risk-free Value

We take the development risk and deploy our own capital in our projects, with no financial risk borne by our waterbody owners. In fact, we generate revenue and cost savings for owners and their communities.

Customer Centric Focus

Nearly every waterbody has an existing use. We take a flexible approach to sharing space and design around many types of operational constraints.

Rigorous Approach

No two waterbodies are alike. Before going to construction, we engineer the systems and develop the projects for a number of years depending on size and complexity.

Experienced Operators

Our leadership team has a combined 100+ years of experience managing 5 GW of projects for some of the most successful renewable energy companies.

Principled Partners

Trust is paramount and only achieved through mutual benefit, transparency, respect, and risk-sharing - values that we strive to maintain with all our partners.

Committed Effort

As owners and operators of our energy assets, we are invested in our communities for the next four decades. We take this commitment seriously by putting local stakeholders first.

The Sustainable Energy Company

For us, generating "green" electrons is only the beginning. As owners and operators of our assets, we practice triple-bottom-line project development within the context of the local community and ecosystem, providing equal weighting to the social, environmental, and economic factors that determine how and where we invest our time and resources.
