Solar Power World has named Solar Landscape the No. 1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer for the second consecutive year. "Commercial real estate has become one of the fastest paths to building new energy infrastructure," said Shaun Keegan, Co-Founder and CEO. "Every rooftop we develop represents new power for the grid, new value for property owners, and a faster path to meeting America's growing energy needs." Electricity demand is accelerating, driven by data centers, electrification, and economic growth. Utilities need new generation and capacity faster than traditional power plants and transmission projects can be delivered. Solar Landscape's rooftop model helps meet that need by transforming underused commercial real estate into distributed energy infrastructure that can come online in months, not years.

Finding the right commercial rooftops for solar has traditionally required significant time and manual analysis. Baseload™ changes that. Built by Solar Landscape using proprietary data, engineering standards, and development expertise, Baseload is our AI-powered site intelligence platform for evaluating commercial and industrial rooftops for front-of-the-meter distributed solar. Baseload combines aerial imagery, geospatial data, grid conditions, engineering constraints, and project economics to identify high-potential sites in minutes. This allows our teams to focus earlier on the opportunities with the strongest technical and commercial potential. For property owners, that means a faster path to understanding how an underutilized rooftop can generate long-term value. For Solar Landscape and its partners, it means a more scalable and data-driven approach to deploying distributed energy infrastructure. As electricity demand continues to grow, the ability to identify and develop high-quality projects faster will be increasingly important. Curious about your property’s potential? Watch Baseload in action and connect with us for an initial commercial property assessment.

Electricity demand is outpacing traditional energy infrastructure. Bringing new sources of generation online quickly has become one of the defining challenges facing the energy industry. Today, Solar Landscape announced the closing of a $125 million revolving credit facility led by M&T Bank, with participation from Flagstar Bank, Atlantic Union Bank, and Valley Bank. The oversubscribed facility expands our existing relationship with M&T Bank and strengthens the capital foundation that supports our growing development pipeline. By providing flexible working capital during project development, it helps accelerate the deployment of distributed energy infrastructure and supports our ability to bring more megawatts online faster in the markets that need power most. As CFO Clayton Avent noted: "Speed-to-power has become one of the defining challenges facing the energy industry. This partnership, led by M&T Bank, is an important piece of our ability to enable our scale and increase throughput in our core markets. The facility strengthens our development platform, supports predictable execution across our pipeline, and allows us to bring new megawatts online faster at a time when demand for electricity continues to accelerate." Thank you to M&T Bank, Flagstar Bank, Atlantic Union Bank, and Valley Bank for their partnership and confidence in Solar Landscape as we continue scaling one of the nation's leading distributed energy infrastructure platforms.

New research from JLL: contracted front-of-the-meter rooftop solar leases increase industrial asset values by approximately 4%, with the uplift fully attributable to contracted rooftop lease income.
Industrial real estate is in a prime position to unlock long-term opportunities within growing energy challenges. By leasing their large, flat, often underused roof space to solar developers, property owners can leverage front-of-the-meter models to generate revenue and enhance asset value while strengthening local energy infrastructure. New research from JLL and Solar Landscape explores why increasing numbers of top US I&L companies are adopting the model and analyzes the potential value uplift.

State governments are realizing that distributed solar is the fastest path to new generation. New transmission and large-scale generation projects often require years to develop, while existing commercial rooftops represent immediately deployable infrastructure that can generate power closer to where it is needed. Maryland Governor Wes Moore just committed $43 million to 69 new distributed solar projects across the state. Solar Landscape will develop 21 of those projects in the Baltimore Gas and Electric and Pepco service territories, further expanding our footprint in Maryland. This investment demonstrates how distributed energy can help address two of today’s most pressing challenges at the same time: bringing new power online faster and delivering meaningful electricity savings to the communities that need them most.

“Creating rentable value on the roof is an opportunity for warehouse and distribution owners and developers.” That’s how Dan Kennedy, MCRP, PP, President of NAIOP New Jersey described the value rootop solar is creating across commercial real estate. The opportunity was on full display during Solar Landscape’s recent rooftop tour with Prologis, where commercial real estate owners, developers, and industry leaders saw firsthand how warehouse rooftops are becoming productive infrastructure, creating new revenue opportunities while helping deliver locally generated power to New Jersey communities. Solar Landscape Founder & CEO Shaun Keegan joined attendees onsite to discuss the growing demand for electricity, the increasing importance of speed-to-power solutions, and the role commercial real estate can play in helping meet the energy needs of utilities, businesses, and communities. As Dan noted, many developers are now designing facilities with rooftop solar potential in mind, recognizing that the economics increasingly make sense for both owners and rooftop tenants. As electricity demand continues to rise, commercial real estate has an opportunity to become part of the energy solution. We’re excited to partner with owners and developers to unlock the full potential of their rooftops. Thank you to Jacqueline Bruce and the team at Prologis for hosting, and to NAIOP New Jersey for bringing together leaders from across the commercial real estate industry.
