7X Energy, Inc.

7X Energy, Inc., headquartered in Austin, Texas, is a leading independent developer specializing in utility-scale solar projects across North America. The company focuses on delivering large-scale renewable energy solutions to corporations, utilities, municipalities, and electric cooperatives. Led by industry veterans with experience from major firms such as SunPower and SunEdison—and with a collective track record exceeding 10 GW of utility-scale development—the team at 7X has successfully originated or developed over 5.5 GW of capacity as part of various projects.
Notable achievements include the origination and sale of landmark projects like the Elara Solar Project (130 MWac), Taygete I Solar Project (250 MWac), Lapetus Solar Energy Project (100 MWac), among others—many within ERCOT’s territory in Texas. In June 2021, BP acquired a portfolio comprising 9 GW worth of U.S.-based solar development assets from 7X Energy for $220 million—a transaction that significantly expanded BP’s renewables pipeline. The company has been recognized as the #1 Commercial Solar Contractor by Solar Power World due to its rapid growth and substantial installation numbers.
The firm provides end-to-end services including project origination/design through asset management post-construction while offering innovative deal structures tailored to client needs—such as fixed-shape products like “SolarBlocks” for predictable corporate procurement. As an independently owned entity prior to its asset sale to BP/Lightsource bp joint venture in mid-2021, it was known for agility in deploying high-quality solar infrastructure.
