Driven Renewable Energy Experts

Heelstone Renewable Energy, LLC (“Heelstone”) is a utility-scale solar and storage developer with expertise in all aspects of the downstream value chain, including greenfield development, mid-stage development, finance, construction, and operations.

Since entering the industry in 2012, Heelstone has developed and/or achieved commercial operation on more than 80 solar PV projects with an aggregate generating capacity of over 1.2 GW. With a wealth of experience, our team is confident in its ability to finance, construct, and ultimately deliver projects into commercial operations. Combining strategic management and dedication to our partners, Heelstone continues to bring sustainable energy to communities across the country.

Our drive begins with our name: The Heel Stone, a standalone block of sarsen stone outside the entrance of Stonehenge, aligns with the sun perfectly on the summer solstice. Just like this alignment of the Heel Stone with the sun, our team works to align our company with our partners throughout the clean energy market.
