Radiance Solar

What Radiance Solar does

Radiance Solar is a privately held, vertically integrated solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm founded in 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia, currently operating as a 100%-owned subsidiary of Bravo Infrastructure Group, LLC following the Newby family's November 2022 acquisition and 2023 merger with Sunshine Solar. The company designs, builds, and maintains commercial, industrial, utility, and community solar installations in the 1-30 MW range, with capabilities spanning ballasted roof mount, single axis trackers, canopy/carport, mechanically attached roof arrays, fixed tilt ground mount, and landfill/brownfields installations, plus integrated battery storage from 10 kWh to 15 MWh. All construction is self-performed by 70+ full-time in-house engineers, technicians, electricians, and project managers, with a dedicated safety manager and QA/QC lead on every site.

The business generates revenue primarily through project-based turnkey EPC fees (one-time, contract-driven) supplemented by recurring operations and maintenance contracts (subscription-style), plus discrete construction services sold to other contractors and hardware-based battery storage integration fees. Customers include Fortune 500 enterprises (IKEA, Anheuser-Busch, Target, L'Oreal, Aflac, Cox), manufacturers (Shaw Industries, Southeast Toyota Distributors, Wilsonart, Aquafil), investor-owned utilities and electric membership cooperatives (Georgia Power, Duke Energy, Walton EMC, Middle Tennessee EMC), and government and institutional buyers (Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, PGA Tour, Georgia Tech). Distribution is direct enterprise sales — no channel intermediaries — though Radiance leverages its founding membership in the Amicus Solar Cooperative (70+ member purchasing network) and Amicus O&M Cooperative (1.3+ GW collectively managed) for component procurement and geographically distributed service coverage. Geographic operations span the continental United States, anchored by a corporate headquarters in Marietta, GA and an operations center in Atlanta, GA.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Strata Solar: Southeast-based solar EPC and developer that has contracted with Radiance on past projects (e.g., IKEA Atlanta). Direct competitor in C&I and utility-scale distributed generation solar across the same Southeastern geography.
• Forefront Power: Developer-EPC focused on behind-the-meter C&I solar, community solar, and storage for schools, municipalities, and commercial customers. Comparable customer mix and project sizes, with vertically integrated development-to-construction model.
• McCarthy Building Companies: National EPC with a large Solar & Storage group building utility-scale and C&I projects. Comparable business model (design-build EPC + self-perform construction) and similar customer base of utilities, cooperatives, and commercial enterprises.
• Mortenson Construction: One of the largest U.S. renewable EPC contractors, with substantial utility-scale solar and energy storage capabilities. Directly comparable as a vertically integrated solar EPC serving utility and C&I customers across multiple regions.
• Borrego Solar: Solar EPC and developer focused on C&I, public sector, and community solar with O&M services. Closely comparable scope (1–30 MW distributed generation + O&M) and similar reliance on cooperative purchasing networks.

Broad incumbents

• Blattner Energy / D.H. Blattner & Sons: One of the largest North American utility-scale renewable EPCs (now part of Quanta Services). Operates at significantly larger scale than Radiance but competes in the same utility-scale PV EPC segment and offers adjacent battery storage services.
• Tesla Energy (Commercial & Industrial): Vertically integrated solar, storage, and EV charging provider with growing C&I EPC activity. Competes on commercial rooftops and storage with strong in-house hardware (Panels, Powerwall, Megapack) that Radiance must source from third parties.
• SunPower (Commercial / TotalEnergies Solar): Established U.S. solar manufacturer and installer with commercial and residential offerings. Competes for C&I rooftop and ground-mount projects with similar design-engineering capabilities but a more national footprint.

Emerging players

• Catalyst Solar (Catalyst Power Holdings): Developer and EPC of community solar and C&I projects with a focus on cooperatives and municipal off-takers — directly competing in the EMC and utility community solar segment where Radiance has built multiple projects.

Others

• Pioneer Energy Services / Amicus O&M Cooperative: Solar O&M cooperative in which Radiance is a founding member; collectively manages 1.3+ GW of assets. Comparable as an O&M service provider rather than an EPC competitor, but a useful peer for benchmarking recurring-revenue economics and asset-management capabilities.
