members of the Amicus O&M Cooperative provide seamless, high quality operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the growing number of solar PV systems throughout the U.S. To date, very few companies have adequate staff to effectively service commercial and utility scale systems dispersed throughout the country. By joining together in this cooperative, member-companies leverage each other’s staff and expertise to provide excellent O&M services for portfolios of PV systems all over the country.
The cooperative structure forges strong connections between members – stronger than the average subcontractor arrangement – as each member-company’s success is rooted in the strength of the group. The cooperative model is naturally collaborative and fosters an environment of knowledge sharing to assist with technical issues, ultimately enhancing the performance of solar PV systems throughout the U.S.

Asset owners may have a single point of contact – and a single contract – with one Amicus member-company to manage the whole portfolio. This frees the asset owner from playing the time-consuming role of “general contractor.”
The Amicus member-company will dispatch local technicians to perform both preventive and corrective maintenance site visits, according to a standard pricing structure and service level agreement.
The local member-companies send their trained and certified technicians to the project site to perform the work. The technicians generate consistent, thorough reports on all of the systems, and these are provided in aggregate to the asset owner.
Our members are independently owned and operated solar PV companies located across the U.S. Many are full service Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) integrators that also provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services, bringing a depth of technical knowledge from the installation business to care for the systems long term. Our membership has a strong overlap with that of our sister cooperative, Amicus Solar, as those members already understand the benefits of working in cooperation with other values-aligned companies.
