It's good to make the most of what you have — that's why this storage company is putting solar panels on their roofs.
The National Storage Affiliates Trust has partnered with Solar Landscape to install "100 megawatts … of solar capacity across 8.5 million square feet of NSA's rooftop space," per Electrek.
The clean energy benefits go beyond their partnership, as the electricity generated will also go toward local homes and businesses.
Shaun Keegan, the CEO of Solar Landscape, told Electrek, "Community 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."
Solar is on the rise, with "nearly 210 gigawatts ... of solar capacity installed nationwide, enough to power 36 million homes," according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Although popularity is increasing, the price is on the decline. SEIA also reported that "the cost to install solar has dropped by more than 40% over the last decade," and it's expected to continue dropping.
