“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

The sun is shining at EVE Park - an all-electric community - powered by the sun, designed and built to evolve — evolve with you and evolve with the world around us. Did you know Eve Park's design is positioned and orientated to maximize sun exposure for the mass of solar panels that feed into the community’s “micro-grid”? EVE Park is connected to the community micro-grid which has a battery system that serves the entire community in the event of a temporary power outage. The system has the capacity to cover for the majority of outages. Eve Park will be "bright", if London goes 'dark". ☀️ Let's talk SOLAR! ☀️ Solar power is 🌍 Clean & Green: Solar energy is renewable, meaning it harnesses the power of the sun, a resource we'll never run out of! Plus, it produces ZERO emissions, helping combat climate change. Solar power is 💰 Cost-Effective: The long-term cost savings of solar power is significant, having an energy-efficient, no-gas, net zero home tied to the grid with a net-metering contract future-proofs buyers against energy price inflation! Future rises in electricity charges will be offset on your utility bill by higher revenues from your solar system. And because, the building is all-electric — you're insulated against increases in natural gas prices, and side-stepping exposure to carbon taxes connected with your home. Eve Park's solar panels make its energy use 100 per cent renewable, sustainable, cleaner and healthier. We've harnessed the power of the sun for a brighter, greener, cleaner future! ☀️ Ready to witness the power of the sun firsthand? Come see Eve Park to see Solar in action 226.213.3661| info@evepark.ca #cleanenergy #solarpower #costsavings #inflationprotection #greenliving #worryfree #condoliving #lndont

🌞 Shining Light on the #Solar #Street #Lighting #Market! Inquire For More Details: https://lnkd.in/dnu23PhN Solar Street Lighting: A Beacon of Sustainability The solar street lighting market is a beacon in the realm of sustainable urban solutions. Harnessing the power of the sun, these systems independently illuminate streets and public spaces, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and significant energy savings. They operate off the traditional grid, ensuring reliability and environmental friendliness. These systems store solar energy during the day, utilizing it to light up streets at night, offering a reliable and eco-friendly alternative. Driving Forces Behind the Growth The growth of the solar street lighting industry is fueled by increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, government initiatives promoting renewable energy, and a rising demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions in both urban and remote areas. Government support in the form of subsidies, grants, tax incentives, and policies further propels the adoption of solar street lighting projects, driving market growth. #SolarStreetLighting #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #UrbanIllumination #Innovation #FutureReady

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
