Tours
Commercial Rooftop Solar Tour
Wed. May 20, 8:45 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Bus departs 9:00 a.m.
Ticketed event; $125 USD / $175 CAN
Many commercial building owners have an underutilized source of revenue: their rooftops. With the federal solar tax credit expiring July 4, 2026, the window to secure strong lease rates on solar projects is closing quickly. Join an exclusive tour of Prologis’ 960kW rooftop solar installation atop a warehouse in East Rutherford, New Jersey. See how industrial rooftops can generate revenue and clean energy at no cost to the owner. Learn how developers evaluate site suitability, ensure safe installation, and deliver systems that feed energy into the grid while protecting the roof and minimizing tenant disruption. Gain insights from Prologis on its solar strategy and 1-gigawatt global portfolio. Hosted by Prologis and Solar Landscape, the largest commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S.
Due to the proprietary nature of the information shared during this event, the tour host has requested that competing solar developers refrain from registering. All attendees will be reviewed and confirmed by NAIOP. If you are not confirmed, you will be asked to select an alternative tour or may request a refund.
