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.

Net Zero Cities will unpack what it means for cities and counties and the reason behind the movement, as well as address implications for the private sector and the regional population at large.

Sessions at the BizWest-sponsored Net Zero Cities will be:

  • The circular economy — recycling and reuse of products and materials.
  • Net Zero Colorado — providing a snapshot of what cities, counties and the state are doing to combat climate change.
  • Climate change, business & industry — identifying what businesses are doing to address the issue.
  • Electrifying mobility — the movement toward vehicles powered by renewable energy.
  • The growing urgency of climate change — facts and figures about the nature of the problem the world faces.
  • Building smart — techniques to build sustainable structures.
  • Reliability in a net-zero world — how to assure that utilities can provide energy when wind or solar conditions limit production.

Net Zero Cities will be at the Ranch in Loveland, 5280 Arena Circle.

Tickets are available here.
