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.

In January, Vestas announced that it was laying off more than 2,300 people worldwide and could lay off an additional 1,600 in the U.S. if Congress does not extend tax breaks for renewable energy.

The company currently has $1 billion invested in four facilities in Colorado, one of which is located in Windsor. U.S. operations are headquartered in Portland, Ore.
