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.

S&W primarily attributed the growth both to organic increases in sales and the full integration of its Australian acquisition, which closed late last year.

The company focuses on developing seeds for crops such as alfalfa, sorghum, sunflowers and stevia. Those crops tend to be planted in late spring to early summer after the threat of frost subsides.

“With strong tailwinds expected from agricultural commodity prices that are near multi-year highs helping to drive farmer profitability, we are enthusiastic about the market opportunity for the remainder of this fiscal year and into fiscal 2022,” CEO Mark Wong said in a statement.
