Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties

One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. JMP Securities LLC served as financial adviser to Nostix in the transaction.

“Adding the Nostix product line provides our customers with the ability to implement catheter-tip placement solutions that meet their specific therapeutic and budget needs,” said Benson Smith, chairman, president and chief executive of Teleflex, in a prepared statement. “Strategically, the addition of this technology will support Teleflex’s future expansion into tip confirmation for central venous catheters, chronic hemodialysis catheters and ports. We also gain access to an innovative product development pipeline, which includes integrated ultrasound capabilities that will extend our ability to offer differentiated catheter-tip positioning solutions well into the future.”
