Mark Liffmann, CEO of Omnidian | Solar Asset Management with a Performance Guarantee Ep.78

Installing solar energy systems in our homes and businesses is a good first step. But how do we keep those solar farms up and running?  

Is there a solar asset management service that can monitor your system, remotely diagnose problems and send a technician when necessary?  

Better yet, is there a service that offers a performance guarantee? 

Mark Liffman is the Cofounder and CEO of Omnidian, the leading provider of performance assurance for distributed energy assets in the US. Mark spent nearly five years as Senior Business Development Manager at SunPower and four years as VP of Sales, Marketing and Business Development at Clean Power Research before cofounding Omnidian in 2016.
