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.

“We were excited to work with the CSU team to create a light-bodied, all-malt lager with hints of citrus and lemon,” said New Belgium brewer and CSU alumnus Cody Reif. “Old Aggie is a refreshing and sessionable lager that is the perfect gameday companion for CSU alumni and fans.”

The university will receive a portion of the proceeds from sales of Old Aggie Superior Lager, which will be divided equally among CSU’s Fermentation Science and Technology Program, CSU Athletics, and alcohol awareness and education efforts for CSU students.

“We’re excited to partner with New Belgium Brewing Co., and to further the relationship between two Fort Collins-based organizations doing great things here in our community and around the nation,” said Tom Milligan, CSU’s vice president for external relations. “We especially appreciate the support for our athletics programs and our fermentation science program, and are truly thankful that New Belgium is joining us in a real commitment to promoting alcohol awareness and education on our campus.

In 2015 New Belgium and brewery co-founder Kim Jordan donated $1 million for renovations to the Fermentation Sciences lab on campus, and in 2016 New Belgium contributed $4 million toward construction of Colorado State’s new stadium. The Porch, a New Belgium-branded tap room housed within the stadium, is set to open later this summer.
