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.
