National Storage Affiliates Trust (NSA), a major player in the self-storage industry, has partnered with community solar developer Solar Landscape to roll out 100 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity across 8.5 million square feet of NSA\u2019s rooftop space.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s enough solar panels to cover roughly 1,000 of NSA\u2019s self-storage properties scattered across 42 states and Puerto Rico.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why this matters: these rooftop solar installations won\u2019t just power NSA\u2019s facilities \u2013 they\u2019re set to generate clean energy for nearby homes and businesses at a discount, thanks to the community solar model. This setup means energy gets produced right where it\u2019s needed, reducing strain on the grid and cutting down on energy costs for locals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NSA isn\u2019t shelling out any upfront cash for these projects. That\u2019s because Solar Landscape, which has been working alongside NSA since 2022, will handle the development, ownership, and operation of the solar systems, with NSA benefiting from monthly lease payments. Development of the first sites is already in the works.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Solar Landscape CEO and cofounder Shaun Keegan said, \u201cCommunity solar is a win-win-win: It reduces the carbon footprint for communities, offers clean energy at a discount for residents, and creates revenue for property owners.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Solar Landscape also runs a sizeable solar workforce training program. The STEP-UP program, which has already trained over 2,500 individuals, focuses on bringing solar career opportunities to historically disadvantaged communities. Last month in Chicago, the company teamed up with the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association to offer hands-on training to local community members. Solar Landscape says that \u201cNSA\u2019s community solar projects will make the STEP-UP program\u2019s continued success possible.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
