Solar Landscape develops community solar projects in New Jersey, allowing residents to benefit from solar energy without needing to install panels on their own properties. The company partners with commercial real estate owners, municipalities, and non-profits to install large-scale solar systems, which generate renewable energy for local communities. This model makes solar power accessible to those who may not have suitable roofs or the means to install their own systems. Solar Landscape's goal is to provide affordable solar energy while promoting environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
