Why O&M for energy storage is more complex than solar O&M

Unlike the solar PV sector where there''s often an attitude of "let''s sell the project first and worry about O&M later," storage projects must have services built in to the thinking and financial process from the beginning. With storage, a strong O&M plan and team become part and parcel of making and closing a strong productive deal, NEXTracker''s Marty Rogers argues.
