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.

“This is an exciting day for all of us at Mountain Aviation,” Mountain Aviation CEO Gregg Fahrenbruch said in the release. We are proud of what we’ve built and thrilled to join [Wheels Up CEO Kenny Dichter] and the Wheels Up team to continue to expand and grow. It’s remarkable to see how Wheels Up, with its vision to democratize, digitize, and disrupt, is transforming the industry.”
