Why Customers Invest in CalCom O&M Services

How We Can Help

Maximize Uptime & Revenue

Our performance monitoring, preventative maintenance plans, highly-trained field technicians, and excellent vendor relationships allow our Service Team to ensure the asset performs as expected, with high uptime and production yield. This is the insurance that protects the original investment and maximizes your financial return.

Avoid Costly Repairs & Keep Warranties Valid

Preemptive maintenance will keep the system finely tuned for maximum production, allowing us to address any issues quickly and ensure that equipment warranties are not voided due to lack of maintenance.

Track Utility Billing Credits

Billing statements received from the utility are often unclear, and it is difficult to see where energy credits are tracked and applied to the utility bill. Our energy bill auditing service gives customers a clear picture of their energy production, savings, and net energy bill.

Warranty Administration

We have long-standing vendor relationships and extensive experience with equipment warranty administration. We perform this service standard with CalCom Energy installations as well as systems installed by other firms.

Preventative and Reactive Maintenance

Regular preventative maintenance will keep your solar asset finely tuned for maximum production, address any issues quickly, and ensure your warranties are not voided due to lack of maintenance.

Reactive maintenance is intended to mitigate unplanned downtime. If a malfunction occurs or performance is degraded, CalCom provides onsite evaluations, equipment repair and replacement, warranty claims management, and panel washing.

Site Retrofits & Repair

The CalCom Energy team is now providing services for aging solar sites that require in-depth investigations and solutions to optimize performance for the life of the system. We work in concert with our engineers, field technicians, the electric utility, and vendors to find solutions, ranging from minor repairs to retrofits of major electrical equipment.
