Heelstone Renewable Energy: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Heelstone was established in 2012 and has since seen gradual growth and gained recognition as an industry pioneer. The company's founders utilized their exceptional expertise in structured finance to procure early and mid-stage solar development projects throughout the United States. As Heelstone progressed, it acquired skills in all facets of the solar value chain, including greenfield development, finance, construction, and operation. In 2019, Ares Management Corporation's Infrastructure and Power Group made an investment in Heelstone. With this funding and in collaboration with AIPG's experienced team, Heelstone is poised to further its development abilities and become a key player in the utility-scale solar development space.

About FundedIQ's Heelstone Renewable Energy Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Heelstone Renewable Energy is left off this page rather than filled in.
