“This collaboration with Plymouth demonstrates the power of partnerships in advancing clean energy initiatives,” said Will Herchel, CEO of Verogy. “We are proud to contribute to Maine’s climate goals and to work with forward-thinking businesses like Plymouth, who are committed to sustainable practices and renewable energy.”
The solar array is composed of 2,464 solar panels, with an estimated annual production of 1,203,420 kWh — enough to power more than 111 homes for a year. This renewable energy project will contribute to Maine’s ambitious goals as outlined in the state’s climate action plan, “Maine Won’t Wait,” which aims to reduce carbon emissions and increase renewable energy production.
“We are very excited about the solar installation at our Portland facility,” said Jim Connolly, executive VP of asset management at Plymouth Industrial REIT. “This project reflects our strategy to expand our solar footprint across the portfolio. By dedicating roof space to renewable energy, we are not only helping reduce emissions but also generating additional revenue through lease payments.”

For techies, it would be good to learn if these rooftop systems used Module Level Shutdowns (NEC 2017) or UL3741 inverter-level disconnections (NEC 2023)
Interesting form the lead in picture, this building is flat mounted, not pitched or ‘wave’ mounted solar PV panel strings. Right at 1.1MWdc on 1.5 acres. Verogy does offer energy storage and yet no mention of energy storage as part of the EPC on this site.
