Solar Landscape’s Post

“At Prologis, we’re committed to sustainability, and to being a force of good in the communities we serve. This community solar project is an example of what can be achieved when [we] come together for a more sustainable future,” said Andrea Marín Monterrubio at a commercial rooftop #communitysolar site as part of the NAIOP I.CON East conference. At the event, dozens of the nation’s #commercialrealestate leaders saw first-hand the benefits that community solar projects on commercial rooftops create.

Commercial Observer has recognized Solar Landscape VP of Engineering Lucas Titolo as a 🏆2024 Top Young Professionals Honoree.🏆 By helping America’s top #commercialrealestate owners pair revenue with environmental #sustainability, Lucas is making a meaningful impact with a new ESG solution – community solar projects hosted on vacant commercial rooftops.   “The projects we design are appealing to developers and commercial real estate owners because we turn their roof into a new source of operating income,” said Titolo.   Commercial Observer's Abbie Nehring explains, “The concept [of community solar] is more or less the same whether you’re in New York or Maryland. First, commercial owners give Solar Landscape access to the underutilized space on top of their buildings. Then Titolo and his team install a revenue-generating photovoltaic array to shrink the building’s carbon footprint while also lowering utility costs in the surrounding neighborhood. Some big names in asset management and the warehouse, logistics and self-storage sectors have made the 12-year-old company their top pick for designing these rooftop grids. Think Prologis, Heitman, Public Storage, and Extra Space Storage.”   The projects Titolo and his team design show how rooftop solar can solve a big piece of the climate puzzle and serve as a catalyst in the energy transition.   🔗 Read the full profile in Commercial Observer: https://lnkd.in/evtRQyvh   #CRE #coyoungprofessionals #communitysolar

Solar, simplified. Shaun Keegan breaks it down for commercial real estate readers in a new FacilitiesNet article: solar on large commercial buildings can generate revenue, reduce energy costs and even enhance community relations. https://lnkd.in/eXKpB82m? #commercialrealestate #CRE #cleanenergy #solar

“It’s a win-win all around, which is why we love it. We’re earning revenue, we’re achieving some of the sustainability initiatives that we have, and we’re also giving back to the community in some way. So it’s a no-brainer,” said David Weissman of Greek Real Estate Partners.   Commercial real estate leaders like Greek are learning the power of leveraging their rooftops for community solar. Shaun Keegan, CEO and founder of Solar Landscape, said that community solar programs allow developers to bypass an industrial building’s tenant entirely. Previously, developers were limited to providing power only to the tenant. But warehouses don’t use that much power, so “it prevented us from using the rest of the roof,” Keegan said. “Community solar is what we call front of the meter, so it plugs the energy directly into the grid for the benefit of nearby communities.”   Read more in The Philadelphia Inquirer ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ez2WcrnW #commercialrealestate #CRE #sustainability #communitysolar
