QE Solar LLC ("QE"), a leading national provider of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for commercial and utility-scale solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and Electric Vehicle Charging infrastructure, today announced the acquisition of Quercus Land Stewardship Services LLC's ("Quercus") renewable services team, a company specializing in vegetation management and land stewardship services for renewable energy infrastructure. The acquisition significantly strengthens QE's vegetation services capabilities nationwide, while providing deeper support in the Midwest region.
As solar deployment continues to accelerate across the United States, asset owners are increasingly prioritizing high-quality vegetation management and land stewardship to ensure site safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term system performance.

By integrating Quercus' expertise and regional presence, QE Solar will broaden its vegetation and land management offerings while providing enhanced support for clients across both utility-scale and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar portfolios.
"Vegetation management is a critical component of solar asset performance and long-term reliability," said Cliff Kazmarek, EVP of Operations at QE Solar. "Quercus has built a highly respected organization with deep regional expertise, guided by the same principles that define QE Solar: a relentless focus on safety, strong customer partnerships, and approaching every project with an owner's mindset. By bringing our teams together, we're strengthening our vegetation services platform and expanding our ability to support clients with consistent, high-quality service across a broader geographic footprint."
Quercus has developed a strong track record supporting solar, BESS and energy infrastructure owners through environmentally responsible vegetation management, land care, and site stewardship services. Its experienced team and regional presence will help accelerate QE Solar's ability to support projects across the growing Midwestern renewable energy market.
"From the beginning, Quercus has focused on delivering safe, responsible vegetation management while building strong, long-term relationships with our customers," said Alex Wenthe, President of Quercus. "QE Solar shares that same commitment to safety, service, and treating every project as if it were its own. Joining QE allows our team to bring our regional expertise into a larger national platform, expand the services available to our customers, and continue supporting solar asset owners across the Midwest with the same level of care and accountability they've come to expect from us."
The acquisition deepens QE's ability to support existing customers while positioning the company to meet increasing demand for integrated operations, maintenance, and land management services across the rapidly expanding solar and BESS energy sector.
