SolarKal has partnered with EPR Properties to develop a 1.4 megawatt community solar project on the top floor of the 230000 square foot New Roc City building in EPR, New Rochelle, New York.

As the main user, EPR Properties will provide renewable energy power to the public areas of the building, while offering community solar subscription discounts to nearby residents and businesses. The New Roc City complex has various entertainment venues and is an important gathering place in the local area.

Cassie Lane, Director of Asset Management at EPR Properties, said: 'We are pleased to see the completion of our solar project in collaboration with SolarKal and G&S, which will bring sustainable energy solutions and have a significant impact on the local community.'. ”

SolarKal conducted a feasibility analysis of EPR's investment portfolio and determined that New Roc City is an ideal location for community solar projects. Subsequently, the team facilitated a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) and ultimately selected G&S Solar, a developer with deep expertise in the New York market.

SolarKal's Chief Commercial Officer Neil Sharma said, "SolarKal is honored to help EPR Properties unlock the economic value of its roofs while advancing its sustainable development goals. This project has reduced operating costs, created long-term rental income, and brought real energy savings to the community. As an ice hockey enthusiast who grew up in New Rock, I am immensely gratified to see this building become a model of positive influence. ”

Abe Naparstek, Chief Operating Officer of G&S Solar, said, "This project demonstrates how solar energy can bring benefits beyond rooftops. We are honored to collaborate with SolarKal and EPR Properties to bring clean and affordable energy to New Rochelle, while helping the state achieve ambitious climate goals. ”

The final construction of the project is underway, and SolarKal will provide ongoing project management to ensure the smooth implementation of the project. About 150 community solar energy users will benefit from the water and electricity cost savings brought by the project.
