Company timeline

The company has always been rooted in family: our name is derived from “Bart’s Solar Landscape” – a company owned by co-founder and COO, Corey Gross’ dad that built and installed early solar thermal technology in the 1990’s.

Shaun Keegan and Corey Gross launch Solar Landscape. 

Together, Shaun and Corey were up on the rooftops, building commercial solar projects themselves.

Solar Landscape builds its in-house engineering and procurement capabilities to deliver faster, more seamless solar solutions.

Solar Landscape deepens its vertical integration by owning and managing the solar projects it builds, offering commercial real estate partners long-term reliability. The company launches its first power purchase agreement (PPA) project, which it continues to own and operate today.

The company pioneers New Jersey’s community solar market with eight awarded projects. At the same time, Solar Landscape grows its legal, policy, and project finance teams to support future scalability and deliver greater value to partners.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy joins Solar Landscape to energize the state’s first-ever community solar project, later honored as ‘Community Solar Project of the Year.’ Building on that success, the company is awarded 46 additional projects solidifying its leadership in the state’s community solar market.

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.

The company partners with Public Storage to launch the nation’s largest community solar portfolio at the time, delivering energy to more than 10,000 homes. Solar Landscape earns the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for clean energy and is named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best in Business. To support its growing team, Solar Landscape expands into new headquarters in Asbury Park, NJ.

Solar Landscape began 2024 with 150 million square feet of leased commercial rooftop space reflecting strong adoption of its turnkey solar model by CRE owners and investors. Over the year, the company added another 40 million square feet, supporting 500 megawatts of new solar and over $1 billion in project financing. The company partners with more than 80 real estate firms.

Solar Landscape was named No. 1 National Rooftop Commercial Solar Developer by Solar Power World. Today, the company operates as a vertically integrated, privately held solar developer with national reach. The company continues to deliver high-value rooftop solar programs for CRE owners offering proven execution, full accountability, and scalable results.
