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.

“We’d like to thank the GEO for helping our coalition continue to
transform the regional new home market to high-performance
construction,´ said Doug Swartz, Fort Collins energy services engineer
and NoCo Energy Star Homes’ program manager.
