Portland, ME SolarKal has completed a 1.1 MW rooftop solar installation at 54 Milliken St., an industrial facility in the city’s Riverton neighborhood owned by Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (Plymouth). This milestone project is part of Plymouth’s ongoing commitment to increasing property value through strategic solar adoption.

The newly installed system — featuring 2,464 solar panels — is projected to generate 1.2 million kWh of clean energy annually, delivering meaningful emissions reductions. Over 20 years, the solar lease is expected to offset the equivalent of 14.7 million pounds of coal burned and generate over $535,000 in income for the property.

 “We are thrilled to see this project come to fruition at 54 Milliken St.,” said Haylie Holliday, vice president, property management & environmental strategy at Plymouth. “SolarKal’s deep expertise in commercial solar made it easy to advance our sustainability goals while adding meaningful value to the asset.”

The project contributes to the broader decarbonization efforts in industrial real estate, reinforcing the financial and environmental benefits of solar adoption.

“As more industrial property owners recognize the value of solar energy, projects like this highlight how clean energy can drive operational efficiency and increase property value,” said Neil Sharma, chief commercial officer, at SolarKal.
