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.

“This is a proud day not only for Numerica Corp., but also for Northern
Colorado,´ said Sean Greene, associate administrator for investment and
senior adviser for innovation at the SBA. “Companies like Numerica
represent the best in American ingenuity.”

“The SBIR program provides Numerica and other small businesses the
opportunity to make profound scientific advances that serve as the
foundation for solutions we transition to our customers,´ said Numerica
President Jeff Poore. “Being selected as a 2011 Tibbetts Award winner is
a proud moment for our entire team – employees and collaborators alike.
The SBIR program’s support of our research will serve as a cornerstone
of Numerica’s success for years to come.”
