Commercial Real Estate’s Proven Solar Partner

Community solar allowed us to check three boxes at once. It generates revenue through the rental of our entire roof - monetizing previously unused space - and it also allowed us to lower our carbon footprint for ourselves and the homes in the neighborhoods near our site. Through that connection, we were able to reach out and engage with local residents, and we’re proud we were able to energize the community in more ways than one.

Together with Solar Landscape and its training partners, the program is introducing community members to entirely new careers in clean energy. In addition, this program addresses critical sustainability and social goals to be a good neighbor to our communities and a clean energy model for the rest of the country.

This is a great ancillary revenue opportunity for us. We don’t have to make any capital investment and it requires minimal time and effort. Ten years ago, I would have said it wouldn’t have been this easy.

Investing in on-site clean energy to decarbonize our buildings has become a core offering that differentiates our real estate portfolio. Our customers see direct benefits.

It was a huge win and found revenue for us. And working with [Solar Landscape], a capable partner who can drive it, made a lot of sense to us.

There’s no capital commitment and no work commitment on our end, we’re providing the rooftops, we sign a lease agreement, and it generates incremental revenue for NSA.
