Tritium3 Surpasses 15MW of Solar O&M Contracts in Hawaii

HONOLULU - April 1, 2016 - PRLog -- In just over three years since its founding in 2012, Tritium3 has grown its solar operations and maintenance (O&M) services business to over 15MW of assets under long-term management in Hawaii.  Through its operations and asset management business unit, Tritium3 Renewable Services, the company continues to expand its offering of solar life cycle management services to commercial, industrial, and utility-scale clients.

"Our team has been providing expert services for photovoltaic systems in Hawaii and the West Coast since 2008. Our deep understanding of life cycle asset management is the key to maximizing a solar PV system's return on investment," said Ryan McCauley, Principal at Tritium3.  "We provide a wide range of trusted services to our clients including technical advisory, daily monitoring, preventative and corrective maintenance, independent commissioning, construction oversight and importantly - emergency response."

Tritium3 provides services to a full range of asset classes, from privately owned 50kW systems to multi-megawatt projects and portfolios on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Islands.  Larry Gilbert, Managing Partner of Kairos Energy Capital, said, "We manage private equity funds focused on PV technology, and we target attractive and highly reliable returns for our investors. Tritium3's proven expertise and wide-range of capabilities supporting portfolios of PV plants under O&M management were deciding factors in our selection of the company to manage our portfolio of projects in Hawaii."

"We pride ourselves on exceptional service, and are proud when clients such as Kairos and Forest City rely on our team to provide asset management and/or O&M services as it demonstrates our strength and reliability as a premier O&M service provider," added Ryan McCauley. "Our team's proactive involvement in early design stages coupled with detailed commissioning, responsive management, maintenance, and early detection services help keep simple problems from becoming costly for system owners - providing value in the short- and long-term."

"Tritium3 has been a trusted and reliable partner for us for many years now. After careful evaluation of their responsiveness, system monitoring and technical service capabilities we chose to place our entire portfolio of utility solar projects under their care", said Jon Wallenstrom, President of Forest City Hawaii. "Since day one we have seen measurable impacts on system performance and a reduction in our resources dedicated to managing the portfolio."

"Professionally managed plants by companies specializing in O&M show greater risk reduction and increased financial returns for system owners, even when original contractor warranties are still in place" according to Ryan McCauley. "As the age of a PV systems increases, life cycle issues emerge, and service responsibility and risks fall increasingly on the system owner. The ability for Tritium3 to best utilize existing contractor and equipment warranties for better outcomes for owners provides a proven, reliable option for independent system assessment, oversight and plant optimization."
