About the company:

Solar Landscape is a commercial rooftop solar developer headquartered in the United States that builds, owns, and operates large-scale solar energy systems on commercial rooftops. Founded in 2012 by construction experts, the company has developed more than 75 million square feet of commercial rooftop solar across the country, earning recognition as the number one commercial rooftop solar developer nationally for consecutive years. Its core business model involves leasing rooftops from commercial real estate partners, installing and owning the solar infrastructure, and delivering clean energy back to the grid — requiring no capital investment from property owners. Solar Landscape is also a leading provider of community solar programs, enabling local residents and businesses near its solar installations to access affordable clean energy. The company partners with major commercial real estate investment trusts (REITs), logistics companies, and storage operators, helping them generate ancillary revenue from unused rooftop space while advancing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Partners have included prominent firms such as Prologis, Principal, Heitman, and National Storage Affiliates Trust. What distinguishes Solar Landscape is its vertically integrated approach — managing development, construction, ownership, and ongoing operations of its solar assets — combined with a strong focus on community benefit and workforce development in clean energy careers. The company secured a $600 million debt facility in 2026 to accelerate distributed energy deployment at scale, underscoring its commitment to expanding access to renewable energy across diverse communities throughout the United States.

About Us
 
Solar Landscape is the nation’s leading distributed energy infrastructure company, transforming commercial real estate into a source of new power by deploying solar and storage at scale. Partnering with more than 170+ commercial real estate owners, the company develops, builds, owns, and operates distributed energy projects that deliver new capacity to the grid in as little as 12 months while generating long-term income for commercial and industrial property owners. 

Proven by our performance, backed by institutional capital, and trusted by the biggest names in commercial real estate, we’re building the future of energy, and it shows:

  • Recognized by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. in 2025
  • Named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies
  • Ranked the #1 commercial rooftop solar developer by Solar Power World in both 2025 and 2026 

That doesn’t happen without a team of smart, driven, and down-to-earth people who are serious about doing excellent work—and fun to work with. At Solar Landscape, you’ll be challenged, trusted with responsibility, and surrounded by people who thrive in our fast-paced environment. Career growth here isn’t limited by title or a rigid path: people who take ownership and deliver are given opportunities to stretch, lead, and make an impact. Along the way, you’ll be supported by great benefits, professional development, and a culture that values authenticity, collaboration, and accountability.
