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.

He previously served as the Wachovia dean and associate professor of operations management in the College of Business at Auburn. From 1990 to 2004, he directed the Executive MBA program at Syracuse, also serving as associate dean and on the faculty there.
