Pat Kelley, general manager of Townsquare’s Northern Colorado office, said he didn’t have many details about what effects the IPO might have locally and declined to say how many people the company employs in Northern Colorado.

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.

“Right now it’s business as usual,” Kelley said.
