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.
Braun said that HobbyDB is like a combination of Wikipedia and Amazon, where collectors can find information about items, what their value is, add them to their wishlist and even buy and sell them through the website.
“There are 75 million collectors worldwide who spend $230 billion a year,” Braun said. “It’s a decent-sized target group with an extremely high lifetime value. And no one owns it yet. It’s a surprisingly large market.”
