Solar Landscape focuses on community solar projects in New Jersey, allowing residents to access solar energy without needing to install panels on their own properties. The company collaborates with commercial property owners, municipalities, and non-profits to install large-scale solar systems on rooftops and other available spaces. The energy generated is then distributed to the community, helping to reduce energy costs and lower carbon emissions. Unlike traditional solar models, Solar Landscape's approach enables multiple customers to benefit from a single solar installation, making solar energy accessible to renters and those with unsuitable roofs. Their business model involves leasing rooftops for solar installations and selling the generated energy to utility companies or directly to consumers. The goal of Solar Landscape is to make solar power affordable and accessible for all, while also supporting environmental sustainability.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Recent funding of $20 million, including $10.5 million from NJEDA, positions Solar Landscape for significant expansion and job creation.
  • The company's goal to double operations and hire over 100 new employees in 2024 reflects strong growth potential and commitment to community impact.
  • Partnerships with organizations like Lyft and Edison Job Corps enhance workforce development and support equitable employment in the clean energy sector.

What critics are saying

  • The reliance on state and federal incentives and tax credits could pose financial risks if these programs are reduced or eliminated.
  • Rapid expansion plans may strain operational capabilities and lead to potential execution challenges.

What makes Solar Landscape unique

  • Solar Landscape's focus on community solar projects in New Jersey sets it apart from competitors who may not target specific local markets as intensively.
