Solar Landscape Named No. 1 National Rooftop Commercial Solar Developer by Solar Power World
Commercial real estate owners are increasingly turning to solar to increase net operating income and unlock new value from underutilized rooftop space. In today's crowded solar marketplace, choosing the right partner is critical.
Solar Power World has named Solar Landscape the No. 1 National Rooftop Commercial Solar Developer on its 2025 Top Solar Contractors List. This award validates what commercial real estate leaders already know: Solar Landscape delivers proven results at scale.
'This recognition isn't just about square footage or megawatts. It's about trust, execution, and long-term partnerships,' said Shaun Keegan, Co-Founder and CEO of Solar Landscape. 'We lease rooftop space from commercial property owners, make the investment in solar ourselves, and manage every aspect of the project. Our partners get guaranteed revenue with zero capex, and we handle the rest.'
Founded in 2012, Solar Landscape pioneered the commercial rooftop solar model, evolving from a construction company into the nation's largest developer, builder, owner, and operator of rooftop solar. Today, the company partners with more than 100 commercial real estate landlords, serving as a reliable, relationship-driven partner that takes care of both the roof and the long-term value it generates.
As the solar industry adapts to regulatory shifts and federal incentive uncertainty, Solar Landscape's national leadership offers commercial real estate owners a clear model for success: partnering with a proven rooftop solar developer to generate new, reliable revenue—without upfront investment.
Founded by construction professionals, Solar Landscape is a vertically integrated company that develops, builds, owns, and operates solar projects nationwide. The company was named the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World in 2025, recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, and awarded the U.S. Department of Energy's Grand Prize for clean energy.

Trump accuses banks of political discrimination. Here's what to know
The White House was preparing to act against banks for allegedly dropping customers for political reasons, as President Donald Trump said he believes that banks, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, had discriminated against him and his supporters. A draft of the executive order, which was reviewed by Reuters, instructs regulators to review banks for 'politicized or unlawful debanking' practices. The order could authorize monetary penalties or other disciplinary measures against violators. It is likely to be announced as early as this week, two industry sources said. The White House had no immediate comment on the reported order. Trump's criticism adds pressure on America's largest lenders, but it also shows how the president's personal slights and business interests are getting reflected in the administration's policies — something that critics say raises issues of conflicts of interest. The sprawling Trump business empire has been placed into a trust, but it is still ultimately owned by the president. An executive order against the banks would come after Trump said in a CNBC interview on Tuesday that the country's top two lenders had previously rejected his deposits. Trump said, without providing evidence, that the banks' refusal to take his deposits indicated that the administration of former President Joe Biden had encouraged regulators to 'destroy Trump.' 'They did discriminate,' Trump said of actions taken by JPMorgan after his first term in office. 'I had hundreds of millions, I had many, many accounts loaded up with cash … and they told me, 'I'm sorry sir, we can't have you. You have 20 days to get out.' 'They totally discriminate against, I think, me maybe even more, but they discriminate against many conservatives,' he said. Trump said he subsequently tried to deposit funds with Bank of America and was also refused, and eventually split the cash. 'I ended up going to small banks all over the place,' he said. 'I was putting $10 million here, $10 million there, did $5 million, $10 million, $12 million,' he said, without naming the lenders. In a statement, JPMorgan did not address the president's specific claims about his account. 'We don't close accounts for political reasons, and we agree with President Trump that regulatory change is desperately needed,' JPMorgan said. 'We commend the White House for addressing this issue and look forward to working with them to get this right.' BofA also did not address Trump's specific claims. 'Reputational risk' issue During Biden's administration, regulators were able to scrutinize banks' decisions on the basis of reputational risks, a source familiar with the matter said. Lenders were under intense scrutiny and pressure to weigh reputational risks when dealing with Trump because of his legal woes, another source familiar with the situation said. JPMorgan continues to have a banking relationship with members of the Trump family that dates back years, and it also banks a number of campaign accounts linked to Trump, the source said. After Trump took power, the Federal Reserve announced in June it was directing its supervisors to no longer consider reputational risk when examining banks, a metric that had been a focus of industry complaints. 'What the White House is doing is telling the banks not to hide behind regulations to deny loans or banking relationships,' said Wells Fargo bank analyst Mike Mayo. 'Banks can use their normal underwriting standards and deny services, but not blame regulators or use reputational risk as a justification.' BofA said it welcomed the administration's efforts to clarify the policies. 'We've provided detailed proposals and will continue to work with the administration and Congress to improve the regulatory framework,' the bank said. Trump in January admonished the CEOs of JPMorgan and BofA for denying services to conservatives. At the time, the two banks denied making banking decisions based on politics. 'Regulatory overreach' Banks have consistently argued that any complaints about 'debanking' should be aimed at regulators, as they argue onerous rules and overzealous bank supervisors can discourage them from engaging in certain activities. 'The heart of the problem is regulatory overreach and supervisory discretion,' the Bank Policy Institute, an industry group, said in a statement. Lenders have held discussions around debanking and weighed scenarios around a potential order, the first source said. Banks are also hopeful the administration may change anti-money laundering laws that they say are outdated and burdensome, the source added.

What we learned at The National: The good, the bad, and the smelly
When interest in sports cards exploded during the lockdown phase of the pandemic in 2020, sending demand and prices soaring, everyone agreed that it was unsustainable. Once able to go back outside, people would put their cards back in the attic and resume their normal lives, devoid of pictures of athletes on little pieces of cardboard. Well, it's now five years later and that still hasn't happened yet. In fact, by a variety of metrics — sales, industry investment, show attendances, and more — sports cards are bigger than ever before. Advertisement But at the 2025 National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, it was something more difficult to quantify that conveyed how this is a space that's still in the early stages of growth. Throughout the five-day event, there was a palpable excitement that filled the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center as a record crowd roamed two floors of tables filled with collectible treasures all day and into trade nights that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. Several area hotels reportedly had to call police to clear out their lobbies that were filled with card enthusiasts making endless deals with each other. While the financial aspect of the industry has become hard to ignore, dispassionate business transactions don't produce the atmosphere that existed in Chicago last week. These were largely people who just really like sports cards and were beyond excited to be surrounded by others who feel exactly the same way. Vibes aside, here are The Athletic's takeaways from The National: The numbers are still going up — Although a specific attendance estimate wasn't provided by organizers this year, they did say there was 'double-digit growth' in attendance from last year's record of more than 100,000 attendees in Cleveland. It definitely felt like the most people ever. Now, part of that was providing more space: 650,000 square feet up from 500,000 last year. But even that didn't feel like enough. It was virtually impossible to walk through the crowd jammed in between the 75 dealer tables in the upstairs portion of the show. Cards are holding kids' attention — Last year in Cleveland, many people we spoke to commented on how many kids there were with cases full of cards, wheeling and dealing and leading their parents around. It was becoming clear that this wasn't just a hobby for old men. This year, there were even more kids. The kids trade zone area, where children could make deals with each other in a central location, was bigger than last year and absolutely packed. It was great to see so many kids interacting with each other, only using phones and tablets to check price comps for their deals. The other encouraging sight was that there seemed to be more young girls with their own cases full of cards in the mix, too. Dealers are buying as much as they're selling — A few years ago, if you went to a card show you'd see maybe a handful of tables advertising that they're looking to buy cards from the attendees they're trying to sell to. At The National this year, it seemed like the majority of tables were just as interested in buying as they were in selling if for no other reason than to maintain inventory throughout the show. By Saturday afternoon there were a lot of empty display cases and dealers attempting to buy up cards to refill them. Advertisement Online marketplace trends carried over into 'real life' — Prior to The National, eBay shared some datapoints showing that, on its platform throughout the first half of this year, searches for WNBA, WWE, and F1 cards were all way up from the same time the previous year. That rise in interest for all three was evident on the show floor. Last year in Cleveland, you could find some Caitlin Clark cards in display cases scattered around the show. This year, there was significant real estate devoted to cards of Clark and other WNBA stars. The league is definitely establishing itself within the hobby. The same goes for WWE. There was even a sizable amount of tennis cards on the show floor. Trade nights are huge — After the show closed each evening, attendees would make their way to another part of the building for the official trade nights, where they would quite literally lay their cards on the table and make deals with each other for hours and hours. For anyone who felt dealers' prices during the day were a bit too high, this was where more favorable transactions were found. Simply put, trade nights are wildly popular events and more of them need to be organized across the country. The interest is there. The first company to find a way to somehow profit from them is going to make a lot of money. People are willing to wait in long lines just to sell cards to their favorite content creators — Until recently, there hasn't been much media coverage of the sports card industry, leaving a void filled by social media content creators and aspiring influencers. They've filled YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok feeds for years now, becoming celebrities within the collecting community, particularly among the younger generations. At shows they get asked for selfies and autographs, but at The National, the content creator interaction people most desired was a deal. Even though the majority of tables were buying, the longest lines were to sell to the content creators, regardless of whether they were offering the best value or not. It was fascinating to see how much many people value being a part of the show that they normally watch at home. Fanatics Fest is having an influence — When Fanatics Fest launched in 2024, some felt it could pose an existential threat to The National, but in year two of their coexistence, it seems clear that they can both thrive. Fanatics Fest is more built around experiences and viral moments, with ultra modern sports cards being a piece of a larger puzzle. The National is all about the cards and much more of a home to the vintage card community. That said, The National did seem to try to bring a little more interactivity and get some of the big-name athletes onto the show floor to be seen rather than just being hidden away behind the curtains of the autograph pavilion. Even with the two events taking place just a few weeks apart, attendance proved they can both do well. It's all about the inserts — Yes, there was a lot of focus on Michael Jordan, Roberto Clemente, and Caitlin Clark cards, but the general interest of attendees seemed to be on a few specific inserts sets, almost regardless of the player. Precious Metal Gems and Panini's Kaboom and Downtown inserts have been wildly popular for years now, and that popularity is not slowing down, even as more and more get produced. But joining them in that surging popularity are the rare Essential Credentials inserts produced by Skybox in the late '90s and early 2000s. Ken Griffey Jr.'s E-X2001 Essential Credentials Now numbered 4 out of 10 produced sold for $280,600 in May to become his most valuable card by a wide margin as Essential Credentials inserts are jumping in value across the board. Personal hygiene needs to improve — It wasn't all sunshine and roses at The National. Too often it smelled downright foul. There wasn't a good reason for it, either. Temperatures were pretty mild outside and the air conditioning functioned well (unlike the last time this venue hosted), keeping it cool inside. And yet, there were far too many whiffs of BO assaulting the senses. More people's collecting journeys need to include regular showers and use of deodorant. Advertisement The breaker area was a different kind of grimy — Online breaks are a huge part of the industry now and the area of the show floor carved out for live-streaming breakers felt like a casino with all the bells and whistles and shouting used-car salesmen types employing questionable tactics to get people to buy in. It stood in stark contrast to the more casual vibes around the rest of the space. While this segment of the hobby isn't going anywhere, maybe it should exist more separate from everything else. The memorabilia business keeps chugging along — The recent criminal investigation and suicide of admitted fake autograph dealer Brett Lemieux made headlines and raised concerns about the legitimacy of any given piece of sports memorabilia. There were a number of dealers selling autographed memorabilia at The National, but the scandal didn't seem to be of much concern to attendees. Maybe that will change when more details on the investigation comes to light and the sole source of information about the scale of the operation isn't just a Facebook post from someone apparently intent on bragging about their misdeeds. The dark side of the industry is always there just below an increasingly happy and shiny surface, but most collectors seem very good at compartmentalizing their childlike enjoyment of the hobby with the risks lurking around the corner.

Fed's Daly Says Rate Adjustment Likely Needed in ‘Coming Months'
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said policymakers will probably need to adjust interest rates in coming months to prevent further weakness in the labor market. 'The labor market has softened. And I would see additional slowing as unwelcome,' Daly said Wednesday in prepared remarks for an event in Anchorage, Alaska. 'All this means that we will likely need to adjust policy in the coming months.'
