Since its start in Asbury Park in 2012, Solar Landscape has spread its mission to make clean energy accessible – and affordable – to all nationwide.

To that end, the company has deployed more than 400 megawatts of renewable energy projects, representing more than $1 billion in capital investment and 100 million square feet of space.

Notably, Solar Landscape has made it a point to partner with real estate developers to use industrial and commercial rooftops as spaces to install and operate solar projects. The community solar model allows local residents to then subscribe to the energy source to participate in clean energy programs and savings.

As an example, in Edison a 370,000-square-foot Prologis building currently under construction will serve more than 400 households from its rooftop Solar Landscape installation.

For those outside of the real estate world, another big-name partner is perhaps more recognizable: Walmart. This fall, the retail giant announced it would invest in 3 million square feet of Solar Landscape’s rooftop community solar projects in Maryland and Illinois.

And the company’s impressive work has not gone unnoticed. Ernst & Young recognized founders CEO Shaun Keegan and COO Corey Gross as one of 10 recipients of the local New Jersey EY 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year award. Solar Landscape has also received recognition from Inc., the U.S. Department of Energy and others.

After starting 2024 with plans to hire more than 100 employees this year, the team boasts more than 200 team members across the nation (up from 60 just three years ago.) With that trajectory, you can probably bet your bottom dollar that in 2025, there’ll be (more) sun.
