Leases rooftops for community solar
Solar Landscape develops and operates community solar projects in New Jersey by partnering with commercial real estate owners, municipalities, and non-profits to bring solar energy to local communities. They install large-scale solar systems on rooftops or other available sites and share the generated energy with multiple customers, including renters and households without suitable roofs. The energy is sold to local utilities or through community solar subscriptions, generating revenue from leases and energy sales, with possible incentives and tax credits. Unlike purely residential solar providers, Solar Landscape focuses on a community solar model that makes solar energy accessible to a broader audience by pooling resources and benefits from shared installations. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions, lower energy costs for participants, and expand solar access across New Jersey for commercial, municipal, and non-profit partners and their communities.
