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.

“Paula brings important experience in both attracting new business and supporting local business communities,” said Jim Becklenberg, Evans’ city manager. “Her passion for economic development, along with her energy and enthusiasm will help take Evans’ game to the next level.”

Mehle participates in several international and national organizations that focus on  economic development, redevelopment and marketing. In 2000, she joined the International Council of Shopping Centers. In addition, she is a member of the International Economic Development Council, Economic Development Council of

Colorado, American Planning Association and the International City/County Managers Association.
