Who We Are
Living Rewild
We Protect Land Through Conservation-Minded Solar Energy
Solar projects can be impactful beyond providing green energy. Rewild is an employee-owned company started by some of the most successful solar energy professionals in the industry, and we’re focused on enabling solar energy while protecting and conserving the lands we use.
Our team founded and sold SunRaise Investments, a leading and highly-respected solar energy developer, owner, and operator. We infused that expertise into Rewild with the ultimate goal of bringing conservation-minded solar energy projects to fruition.
What it Means to Rewild
Rewild is an employee-owned Solar 2.0 company. As the industry matures, we are leading the way in ensuring that our company holistically approaches the fight against climate change by reducing carbon emissions and protecting biodiversity.
Land is precious and it can do so much for us. We don’t want to just use land for solar energy – we want to give back to the land by supporting and protecting it for generations to come. By avoiding sensitive areas for solar energy sites and aiming to rewild these lands, we’re uniquely able to encourage the biodiversity of that land and promote what naturally occurs. We can rewild the right land and do good in more ways than one.
The Rewild Mission
The Rewild mission is to rewild our ecosystems, reduce carbon emissions, and protect biodiversity – and to successfully and mindfully develop high-quality solar projects that benefit the communities in which we work.
- We help merge the worlds of renewable energy with biodiversity conservation to help make a positive impact against the climate crisis.
- We embrace the reality of climate change by working to keep the world habitable, maintain a quality of life we all desire, and prevent irreversible mass extinction.

Habitat Protection
We need enormous amounts of solar on well-sited properties, and significant tracks of climate-resilient lands to be protected forever to ensure biodiversity and connectivity, which is critical for habitat migration. As the climate changes, it is essential that animal and plant species alike can migrate to climates that are suitable for their continued survival. These migration areas need to be connected and protected; otherwise a critical bridge in the ecosystem is simply missing.
Beyond Solar
A portion of our proceeds from solar projects on correctly sited land funds our efforts to permanently protect the Earth’s most important lands.
Communities Trust Us.
“The ReWild Renewables team was a breeze to work with and are experts at navigating development. They had the vision and expertise to identify that my land could be a great location for a large-scale community solar project. A year and a half after signing the Letter of Intent I am looking at a fully constructed 3.3 MW solar array. It's now ready to plug into the grid and produce rent for my family for the next 20-30 years."
