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.

The public is invited to vote for the final winner through midnight Thursday, Nov. 19. To watch each pitch and vote for a winner, click here.

Contest participants were asked to submit a 90-second video explaining how the money will help them accelerate their business and reach their goals.

The top five were selected by a panel of business experts, including Jack Tankersly, managing director of Meritage Funds; Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.; Tami Door, CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership; and Dana Coffield, business editor for the Denver Post.
