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 has a master’s degree in sports administration from the University of Northern Colorado and a bachelor’s degree in marketing and sociology from Colorado State University.  He was appointed chairman of the state Workforce Development Council and serves on the BBVA Compass Bank Northern Colorado Advisory Board.
