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.

TGS’ grow facilities are expected to produce 48,000 pounds of cannabis flower this year and as many as 150,000 pounds by 2023. 

With the addition of TGS, Columbia Care now operates 74 dispensaries and 19 grow operations. 

“This transaction further advances Columbia Care’s promise to maximize shareholder return by making us even stronger, both financially and operationally, as we expect to see the majority of our existing markets transition to less regulated, legalized operating environments,” Columbia Care CEO Nicholas Vita said in a prepared statement.
