Proven by performance

Solar Landscape surpassed a 1 GW development pipeline, hired more than 100 employees to support its rapid expansion, and expanded its New York City office. The company was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies and again named the No. 1 Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World.

Solar Landscape was named the No. 1 National Rooftop Commercial Solar Developer by Solar Power World and one of the Financial Times' Fastest Growing Companies in the Americas. As a vertically integrated, privately held developer, the company continued to expand its national footprint, delivering high-value rooftop solar programs for commercial real estate owners through proven execution, accountability, and scale.

Strong demand from commercial real estate owners accelerated Solar Landscape's growth. By year-end, the company had expanded its portfolio to nearly 190 million square feet, supported more than 500 MW of new development, secured over $1 billion in project financing, and partnered with more than 80 leading real estate firms.

Solar Landscape partnered with Public Storage to launch what was then the nation's largest community solar portfolio, delivering energy to more than 10,000 homes. The company earned the U.S. Department of Energy's Grand Prize for clean energy, was named one of Inc. Magazine's Best in Business, and expanded into its new headquarters in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Blaise Cote joined as Chief Strategy Officer, helping scale the organization by growing the leadership team, expanding headcount, and formalizing the systems and processes that positioned the company for its next phase of growth.

Solar Landscape earns national recognition as its partnership with Extra Space Storage is named ‘Community Solar Project of the Year,’ marking a second win. Following the successful energization of its community solar projects, the company begins construction on 46 more, ultimately serving 11,000 subscribers. Its commitment to growth is further acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Energy, which honors the company’s workforce development program in its annual Sunny Awards.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy joined Solar Landscape to energize the state's first community solar project, later recognized as Community Solar Project of the Year. Building on that momentum, the company was awarded 46 additional projects and expanded into Illinois and Maryland, marking the beginning of its multi-state growth.

Recognizing that technology would be essential to scaling the business, Solar Landscape began building proprietary software to connect and strengthen every stage of project delivery. The initiative established Solar Landscape’s digital foundation and gave rise to its award-winning subscriber management, project management, and Baseload™ solutions.

Solar Landscape pivoted to front-of-the-meter solar, marking the beginning of its evolution into a national distributed energy infrastructure platform. Mark Schottinger and Clayton Avent joined the partnership, while the company expanded its legal, policy, and project finance teams to support its next stage of growth.

Solar Landscape expanded its vertically integrated model by owning and operating the projects it develops. The company also launched its first power purchase agreement (PPA) project—a long-term asset it continues to own and operate today.

Solar Landscape built its engineering, procurement, and development capabilities to accelerate project delivery and ensure greater execution certainty.

Shaun Keegan and Corey Gross founded Solar Landscape in 2012. In the early days, they were on the rooftops themselves, building the commercial solar projects that laid the foundation for the company today.

Our roots go back to the 1990s, when co-founder and COO Corey Gross' father built Bart's Solar Landscape, an early solar thermal company whose legacy inspired our name.
