Operations & maintenance

SkyFire offers operations and maintenance (O&M) services for utility-scale, commercial, and residential photovoltaic systems. SkyFire’s highly experienced team of solar professionals will monitor system operations and work to optimize performance while performing timely preventative and reactive maintenance of each solar asset.

As solar professionals, we believe it is our responsibility to see that the systems we build, or are contracted to maintain, continue to perform reliably for decades after commissioning. We engage collaboratively with stakeholders to achieve common goals, listening closely to understand your needs, sharing ideas, solutions, and best practices to maintain the performance of your solar assets.
