Solar O&M Insider

The Solar O&M Insider is the first podcast series dedicated to solar PV operations, maintenance and asset management. This series is made possible by Alectris, a global solar asset care innovation firm. Glenna Wiseman of Identity3 is the host. The Global Solar Energy Standardisation Initiative or SESI was announced in June 2016 to spur worldwide solar development by standardizing contracts to streamline the finance, construction and operation of solar projects. In this special multi-part series of the Solar O&M Insider, we are joined by leaders of this initiative and those involved with the O&M work stream. Members of the operations and maintenance work group are focused on the development of the Solar O&M contract template, to assist the industry in producing a streamlined innovative document with risk balanced for all executing parties.
