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.

Homeward Alliance, Outreach Fort Collins and Colorado State University Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement co-produce the event, with support from Bohemian Foundation, United Way of Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins Recreation Department. Kaiser Permanente is the presenting sponsor.

Project Homeless Connect will include new services, including expanded health and wellness offerings, a legal-aid clinic hosted by the Colorado Poverty Law Project and driver-license services provided by DMV2GO.

Returning services will include basic car inspection; bike repair; medical screenings; basic dental screenings for adults and children; eye exams; family photos; haircuts; housing information; veterans’ services; ID and legal services; employment services; counseling; government benefits; childcare; massages; toiletry packages; and doggie day care, pet health care and pet food.

All services are free, and bilingual Spanish volunteers are available to assist attendees. Language Link services are available for languages other than English and Spanish. The event space is handicap-accessible.

During the event, each participant is paired one-to-one with a volunteer who helps the participant navigate the variety of services available.
