Partnering with more than 200 companies, Solect has installed more than 32 megawatts (MW) of commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across Massachusetts and is now serv- ing commercial enterprise in Rhode Island. Recently, the company also expanded its busi- ness portfolio to include a broader array of energy-saving solutions. Solect's Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services offers full service contracts that include production monitoring and reporting and 24-hour tracking through a real-time, web- based secure portal, as well as Spring check- ups, cleaning and roofing inspections. Solect's enhanced Solar Services division offers operations and maintenance services for solar systems, including those installed by other companies. The team also reviews net metering credits for your system, tracks pro- duction and works with your utility provider to confirm you receive proper credits to your account. In addition, Solect manages the solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) your system generates to ensure you achieve your return-on-investment (ROI) goals. Solect is currently planning an energy man- agement initiative that includes an energy stor- age pilot program, which will explore different ways Solect can help companies further reduce energy demands and costs. Solect is in the pro- cess of vetting automated software solutions that will assist in controlling the energy demand and load of operating equipment. In 2015, Solect installed 12 MWs of solar for 80 new commercial customers. Proud of its record in helping customers reduce their over- all energy demand and costs with a clean, renewable energy source, Solect intends to move beyond just solar development and instal- lation in the future. n Solect Energy: Comprehensive Solar Energy Solutions From left to right: Solect Energy Founders Ken Driscoll, James Dumas, Craig Huntley Biomedical companies ...........................................................60 Clean energy companies ........................................................62 Manufacturers.........................................................................63 Plastics companies .................................................................65 Software and hardware companies .......................................66 & MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
