Financial Times Names Solar Landscape One of the “Fastest Growing Companies in the Americas”

Solar Landscape, the nation’s leading commercial rooftop solar developer, has been named one of the “Fastest Growing Companies in the Americas” by the Financial Times. The FT Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 is a list of the 300 companies in the Americas that have the highest growth in disclosed revenue between 2020 and 2023.

Solar Landscape was one of only eight American energy companies and the only company specializing in commercial rooftop solar on the Financial Times list.

“We are honored to be among the fastest growing companies in the Americas on the Financial Times list,” said CEO and co-founder Shaun Keegan. “This recognition underscores the core of our business model: by putting large solar projects on commercial and industrial rooftops and distributing the energy back to the grid, we’re rapidly and efficiently addressing America’s energy needs. Our teams have scaled up significantly to develop commercial rooftop solar across the country.”

Momentum for Solar Landscape and Commercial Rooftop Solar

Solar Landscape now leases more than 150 million square feet of commercial rooftops and has completed 350 projects on buildings owned by many of the world’s leading commercial real estate companies. In December 2024, Solar Landscape announced that it had raised $847 million in capital for its projects.

The company employs 303 people in 17 states – including its Asbury Park, New Jersey headquarters and offices in New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Chicago – and is actively recruiting with more than 40 open roles.

The new listing in the Financial Times complements other recent national recognitions. On April 24, Solar Landscape was named “Energy Industry Innovation of the Year” in the 23^rd Annual American Business Awards. It was also named “Best in Business” by Inc. Magazine and one of America’s Top Workplaces in USA Today.

Distributed Grid Benefits on Commercial and Industrial Rooftops

By building distributed grid solar projects on commercial rooftops, Solar Landscape is revolutionizing how energy is deployed in the U.S.

As U.S. energy demand surges from the growth in AI machine learning, data centers, and electrification of the economy, corporations and regulators are increasingly looking to distributed generation (DG) for its deployment speed and grid benefits. DG solar projects can typically be developed and built in 12 to 24 months given faster interconnection times and modular setups.

In 2024 Solar Landscape leased an unprecedented 40 million square feet of commercial rooftop space across the U.S. The 40 million square feet will require an additional $1+ billion in project financing and will serve as the foundation for 500 megawatts of solar capacity – enough to power 80,000 households. Solar Landscape now has over 80 commercial real estate partners that collectively own over 2 billion square feet across the U.S.
