Solar Landscape has been named the No. 1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer on Solar Power World’s 2026 Top Solar Contractors List, marking the second consecutive year the company has earned the category’s top ranking.
The recognition comes as utilities, policymakers, and large electricity users such as data centers face an increasingly urgent challenge: bringing new power online faster to meet rapidly growing electricity demand. Solar Landscape has built the nation’s leading platform for doing exactly that – transforming commercial rooftops into distributed energy infrastructure that can be deployed in a fraction of the time required for traditional generation.
“Commercial real estate has become one of the fastest paths to building new energy infrastructure,” said Shaun Keegan, Co-Founder and CEO of Solar Landscape. “This recognition reflects the trust our commercial real estate partners place in us, the strength of our team, and our ability to consistently deliver projects at scale. Every rooftop we develop represents new power for the grid, new value for property owners, and a faster path to meeting America’s growing energy needs.”
Solar Landscape partners with more than 170 of the nation’s leading commercial real estate owners to lease underutilized rooftops and transform them into long-term energy assets. The company develops, finances, builds, and operates every project, allowing property owners to generate predictable long-term income without investing capital or managing complex energy infrastructure.
Today, Solar Landscape has built one of the largest distributed energy platforms in the country, combining commercial real estate partnerships, proprietary technology, project finance, utility expertise, and vertically integrated development to accelerate deployment at national scale.
As electricity demand continues to grow, driven by data centers, electrification, and economic expansion, the company is expanding beyond rooftop solar to help utilities, policymakers, and commercial property owners unlock additional distributed energy resources, including battery storage.
“Our industry has reached an important inflection point,” said Mark Schottinger, President of Solar Landscape. “The conversation is no longer simply about installing more solar panels. It’s about delivering reliable generation and capacity faster, strengthening the grid, and building the energy infrastructure our economy requires. Commercial real estate is uniquely positioned to help solve that challenge.”
Founded in 2012, Solar Landscape pioneered the commercial rooftop solar development model and has grown into the nation’s leading distributed energy infrastructure developer through disciplined execution, long-term partnerships, and continuous innovation. The company now works with more than 170 commercial real estate partners across multiple states and has deployed billions of dollars of capital to accelerate distributed energy development nationwide.
The annual Solar Power World Top Solar Contractors List recognizes the country’s highest-performing solar companies based on installed capacity, project execution, and market leadership.
