Solar REITs, also known as Renewable Energy REITs or Green REITs, are real estate investment trusts that specialize in owning and operating renewable energy assets, particularly solar energy infrastructure. These REITs typically invest in a variety of solar energy projects and related properties, aiming to generate income from the leasing or sale of these assets.

Energy REITS are a source of new capital for energy funds and developers. The basic idea behind a renewable energy REIT is that the REIT provides investors with a publicly traded security that offers a stable yield, while providing energy funds and developers with access to public investors who are willing to provide capital at attractive prices.
