What Is Randolph Solar Investments LLC?
Randolph Solar Investments LLC is a Delaware company formed in 2022 and based in Fayetteville, Georgia. The company filed under the “Other Real Estate” industry category, and the Form D does not describe the specific project.
The filing lists the same address and executive officers as Laurens Solar Investments LLC, another 2022 private placement.
Randolph Solar Investments Offering Terms
The company sought to raise $13.3 million by selling equity under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. As of its December 21, 2022 filing, it reported $13,112,855 sold to 135 investors. The first sale took place on December 13, 2022. The filing lists no minimum investment, and the company declined to disclose its revenue. It estimated $917,900 in finders’ fees and $900,000 in payments to its managers or promoters.
Broker Due Diligence Obligations
FINRA expects brokerage firms to reasonably investigate a private placement before recommending it to customers. According to the Form D, the following firms were paid to sell Randolph Solar Investments:
- Emerson Equity LLC
- G.A. Repple & Company
- Great Point Capital LLC
- Metric Financial, LLC
- Titan Securities
- Vistia Capital, LLC
The Form D also lists RIA Advisors as receiving sales compensation, with no broker-dealer named. In October 2026, FINRA censured and fined Vistia Capital $40,000. FINRA alleged the firm failed to properly review its brokers’ business ties to private placement issuers. That settlement does not name the issuers involved.
Risks of Private Placement Investments
Private placements like Randolph Solar Investments do not trade on an exchange. Investors usually cannot sell their shares when they want to. Upfront costs also cut into returns. Based on the Form D estimates, finders’ fees and payments to insiders together come to about $1.8 million, roughly 14% of the money raised.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file a claim over my Randolph Solar Investments investment?
Most investors file through FINRA arbitration against the brokerage firm that sold them the investment. Brokerage account agreements typically include a pre-dispute arbitration clause, which many retail investors don’t realize is there. That means claims usually go to FINRA arbitration instead of court, and arbitration can still result in a monetary recovery.
Why is a private placement like Randolph Solar Investments riskier than a public investment?
Private placements are not registered with the SEC, so investors get much less information than they would with a public stock or mutual fund. Rule 506(b) offerings like this one are generally limited to accredited investors, plus a small number of sophisticated non-accredited investors. There is usually no market to sell your shares, so your money can be tied up for years.
Is the brokerage firm responsible if my Randolph Solar Investments investment loses money?
It can be. Brokerage firms must investigate private placements before selling them and supervise the brokers who recommend them. A firm that skipped that work can be held liable for failing to supervise.
