My neighbor referred me to Taylor Energy after putting solar on his home.* Taylor Energy installed a solar system for me; I watched the whole event. Sean really knows what he’s doing and his quality of work is excellent. Sean was on the roof, overlooking and working to make sure the job was done well. They are really fussy on details. He and his team made sure the site stayed clean after each work day. He also came back after a couple of months to make sure that the system was still operating properly. How they evaluated my electrical system was especially impressive. My new electrical bill from PG&E is only $4/month!
