Solar Landscape, the leading U.S. commercial rooftop solar developer, has energized 14 new community solar projects across Maryland, for a total capacity of 6.6 megawatts (MW), which is fed directly into the state’s power grid.
The new installations are the first of Solar Landscape’s 57 projects in Maryland, all hosted on commercial rooftops, making it the largest group of community solar projects developed by a single company in Maryland. Once energized, they will collectively provide 55 megawatts (DC) of solar capacity, serving 5,870 homes.
Solar Landscape is now Maryland’s statewide leader in rooftop community solar, with nearly 50 percent of the state’s recent market share in the company’s development pipeline.
“Community solar projects like the ones we’ve energized create jobs, reduce energy costs and help Maryland meet its energy needs,” said Solar Landscape CEO and co-founder Shaun Keegan. “Putting large solar installations on commercial rooftops is a smart, shovel-ready energy solution that also pays dividends to building owners.”
The newly energized projects are located in:
Commercial Rooftop Solar: Bringing Energy and Benefits to Maryland
The projects were interconnected by Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BGE) and Pepco.
Hosting community solar projects on commercial rooftops delivers new sources of electricity to Maryland’s grid quickly without sacrificing its valuable agricultural land or open space. Commercial rooftop solar projects can typically be developed and built in 12 to 24 months, given faster interconnection times and modular setups.
As part of its community solar projects in Maryland, Solar Landscape supports the nationally recognized workforce development non-profit, STEP-UP. Together with Woodland Job Corps in Laurel, Maryland, STEP-UP hosted a three-day hands-on solar installation training in 2023 and plans to host another session in Maryland later this year.
In 2024 Solar Landscape leased 40 million square feet of commercial rooftop space in the U.S. The portfolio will require more than $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 partners that own over 2 billion square feet of commercial real estate nationwide.
Solar Landscape’s projects in Maryland will generate savings through solar credits on the utility bills of 5,870 homes across the state.

Marten Transport, a transportation company serving the United States and Mexico, started in 1946 with a single milk truck in rural Wisconsin. Nearly 80 years later, Marten has transformed into an international transportation and logistics company that exemplifies the transformative power of solar energy. Given the nature of their industry, which operates thousands of trucks and where equipment maintenance is vital for the safety of their drivers, employees, and customers' products, Marten began to evaluate different ways to reduce their carbon footprint across all areas of their operations.
Installing solar energy to supplement their energy needs at terminals and maintenance facilities has been a key factor in Marten's sustainability push over the last decade. These projects save on energy costs, which supports Marten's bottom line and is integral to demonstrating their commitment to environmental responsibility through enhanced operational efficiency. In many respects, Marten is paving the way for a more sustainable future in the transportation industry.
In 2018, Marten Transport first partnered with All Energy Solar as its solar provider, attracted to the company's stability and capacity to offer a turnkey approach to the organization's needs across the U.S. Since then, All Energy Solar has provided full-service solar energy solutions designed and installed at 17 project sites.
"It's our job to help customers like Marten understand the benefits of alternative energy solutions, providing them with a tremendous amount of predictable energy savings long term," said Michael Thalhimer, Director of Business Development at All Energy Solar.
The partnership started with rooftop solar arrays installed on three of their facilities in Mondovi, Wisconsin. Arrays atop the headquarters office and tractor and trailer mechanic shops produce over 175kW of clean energy, marking a powerful stride forward in Marten's sustainability journey.
"Choosing All Energy Solar was one of the smartest things we have done here at Marten Transport, said David Meyer, Senior Vice President at Marten Transport. "We were so impressed with the team's transparency throughout the process that we decided to work with them across our whole network around the US."
Outside of Marten's home state of Wisconsin, All Energy Solar has also installed projects for the carrier in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, and Oregon. Over roughly seven years, rooftop solar arrays, parking lot solar canopies, and battery storage systems have all been completed.
All Energy Solar offers various services, including residential solar, commercial solar, energy storage, electric vehicle chargers, smart electric panels, and roofing in limited locations. The company installs residentially in Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, and performs commercial installations nationally and internationally.
