Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties

One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.

William Coulson, listed as the project manager and husband of Eldon James’ president and owner Marcia Coulson, when reached Friday chose not to comment on the project.

Eldon James manufactures a wide range of standard and custom hose fittings, including adapters, couplers, elbows, reducers and bulkheads at its headquarters and 74,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Denver’s Stapleton business development area. The company invested $12 million in the facility, moving from 47,000 square feet in Loveland and 9,000 square feet in Fort Collins in 2013.

In 2012, Eldon James pulled the plug on plans to build a large facility in Timnath, east of Fort Collins, where it would have consolidated operations in Loveland and Fort Collins. A year later it moved operations to Denver.

Eldon James also operates EJ BioMed, a cleanroom facility that focuses on the manufacture of products designed for the life sciences, com, biomedical, pharmaceutical and similar critical-use applications.

According to Larimer County public records, the 34-acre parcel on which the project would be built, is owned by Harmony Technology Park LLC, an entity registered to Vlasic Properties LLC c/o MAV Development Co. based in Ann Arbor, Mich. HTP LLC purchased the  parcel from Hewlett-Packard Co. in 2007 for $14 million.
