Tyler Anderson on Solar O&M and Engineering Services
Today on the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague interviews Tyler Anderson of Phase II about solar O&M and engineering services. In this brief but informative conversation, Tyler shares insights about his company's focus on commercial and industrial solar projects.

Company Focus
Tyler explains that Phase II specializes in "C&I focused" services, including "consulting, system design, third party quality control and a little bit of O&M." Their projects range from 50kW up to about eight megawatts, primarily serving Midwest markets including Iowa, Illinois, and Texas.

CPS America Insights
When asked about CPS inverters, Tyler identifies several key strengths: "bankable means simple system designs, nice power classes" and mentions they frequently use "the 50 kW, 60 kW on flat roof mounts." He particularly emphasizes CPS's "really good customer support," noting they've been "happy with that."

Key Inverter Selection Criteria
Tyler reveals what he looks for when selecting inverters for projects:
-Company history
-UL 3741 compliance, which he notes is "a really big thing" currently
-After-service support
-Low failure rate

Primary Customer Base
Phase II's primary customers are "electrical contractors that are trying to get into solar" - particularly well-established companies with decades of experience. Tyler notes these established electrical contractors "should be moving into the solar markets."

Industry Connections
Tyler gives a special mention to CPS team members Evan and Faviola, whom he interfaces with most frequently.
This conversation provides a concise look at the commercial solar landscape from the perspective of a service provider helping traditional electrical contractors transition into the growing renewable energy sector.
