Testimonials

Taylor Energy was recommended by a neighbor that I know to be a numbers guy and a careful shopper. He had Sean Taylor install a photovoltaic system and was pleased with both the workmanship and power production. I called Sean & was impressed with his detailed analysis of our historical usage and his design to produce the desired power despite our sub-optimal roof orientation. He patiently explained the options available and why he recommended the products he did. Communications were excellent throughout the project and my experience was similar to my neighbor’s—a well-installed system that produces as expected, plus a bit more. Sean’s team handled both the County permits and PG&E paperwork and made the whole project effortless. You can trust Sean to recommend a PV solution tailored to your needs and to install it using appropriate products and best practices. Look no further.

1. I recommend Taylor Energy without reservation. All aspects of our business transaction were positive: planning, explanation, scheduling, permitting, installation and service. The staff were all knowledgeable and experienced. This was my first venture into solar and I chose Taylor Energy based on the recommendations of several neighbors. No complaints in our neighborhood.

2. I recommend Taylor Energy, without reservation. The service was top notch: planning, explanation, scheduling, permits, installation, service, and responsiveness. We could not have asked for more.

We always dreamed of having solar power, but every company, except Taylor Energy said it wasn't possible. The incredible people at Taylor Energy worked with us to install solar on our barn and we couldn't be happier with the result. We don't pay anything for energy now and it is so exciting to think we are doing something positive about climate change. Best of all, everyone at Taylor Energy was knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. Working with the people at Taylor Energy was a great experience!

Going solar has been a great experience. Our PG&E bill has been considerably less than previous years. We have only had the solar system for three months now, but so far it’s been great. Sean from Taylor Energy made the transition to going solar easy and the job got done on time. It’s always nice when a person says he is going to show up, and he is there on time. From the start when we went over the plans and configuration to the final details, it was exactly just as we planned. I recommend Taylor Energy to anyone who is looking to make the switch to solar.

 I have had an excellent experience working with Taylor Energy installing a solar energy system on my home. From the beginning, Sean Taylor and all of his staff were friendly, professional, and communicative. They respected Covid safety, and my time, by confirming dates and times for work at the house regularly. My questions were all answered, and they facilitated a good referral for a new roof in preparation for the panels. They also included an upgrade to my electrical panel in their scope of work. Paperwork and inspections were all smoothly handled by them, and they assured I could maximize the benefits of the project.

Highly recommend them for anyone looking to have smooth solar energy system installed at their home.

Taylor energy installed solar panels on my house and helped me get ready via a good referral for a new roof. The staff were all pleasant, professional and communicative. They wore masks and confirmed our schedule for workers arriving beforehand. A delay in panel delivery was due to Covid, but got the panels installed as soon as they arrived before the end of the year. They handled the paperwork well, including an application for PG&E benefits moving forward. Am now watching the system's performance on the "app", and all seems to be working well.

We recently completed a home solar project with Taylor Energy Systems, Inc. and were extremely happy with both the process and the final results. They were very thorough in helping us define our ultimate objective by guiding us through the pros and cons of various decisions that affected the final design. They were creative in solving some unique spatial constraints that gave us what we wanted and where we wanted it. They coordinated directly with PG&E and the City of Petaluma on all permits and approvals. Their courtesy, professionalism and attention to detail continued through the construction and commissioning phases as well. The resultant final workmanship is excellent. Sean, Sam, Kathy, Cody and Mark make a great team. I am happy to recommend that anyone contemplating a solar project consider Taylor Energy Systems, Inc.

Taylor Energy is a fabulous company to work with. They are professional and pay a great deal of attention to details. We have direct contact with Kathy in the office (she is great!) and both Sam and Sean. They are men of their word that have a sincere desire to get everything done right. Very humble guys. We had contacted a couple of companies that specialize in solar prior to working with Taylor. No one bothered to come out and they all told us that we were not candidates for solar based on aerial views. We are do-it-yourselfers and we wanted solar. My husband was searching for solar panels to ship direct from China, but all the producers said they wouldn’t ship to an individual and to shop locally. We found Taylor Energy from an internet search and were immediately attracted to their advertisement of free batteries due to a fire resiliency program. This was a new program and I know now that Taylor Energy is on the cutting edge and keeps on top of all the local programs, tax breaks, etc. We contracted with Taylor Energy to do our battery back-up. We told Sean that we would like solar too, but no one thought it made sense. Sean sent a team out to measure the solar possibility on our roof. They prepared a detailed proposal with dollar estimates based on their numbers and our historical PGE bills. The system is designed to last 30 years and will pay itself off in 10 according to the numbers. Our system went operational in October. It is now the first of February. Their monthly estimates for power generation have been dead right, or maybe a little low since it has been a fairly sunny winter. We are very happy with our solar results here in the redwoods of Occidental. All aspects of the work were handled with care, great communication and professionalism. We’ve had all our questions answered - before, during and after. And since my husband is an engineer, we have lots of questions. They have taken care of all the permit and extra paperwork required for the free battery program. Our solar system has been in operation for a few months. They continue to check to make sure it is working every once in the while via online remote monitoring. They contacted us once to ask if everything was okay since we were missing data, but it was due to a PGE power outage. Overall, we are very happy with the solar system. We are requesting an estimate for an additional free standing solar array on our other property. As knowledgeable people that do most of our home improvement work ourselves, it is a relief to find a company that we can trust totally to put the kind of care into the project that we would ourselves. We highly recommend Taylor Energy.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Sean Taylor and his company to install a ground mount solar system. It was very clear that he has extensive knowledge and experience at the moment we met. Everyone on his team is courteous and professional, and their ability to follow through is exceptional! It was so refreshing to be able to count on a contractor to do what they promised to do while keeping us informed, and they completed earlier than originally expected. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Taylor Energy installed our home’s beautiful solar equipment in October of 2019. It has worked like a charm ever since; i.e., our electricity bill has been zero since that time even though we have air conditioning and treat ourselves unstintingly when the weather warms up. Subsequently Taylor Energy installed additional lines into our circuit breaker box so we could plug in a generator to the outside of our garage. This arrangement has work perfectly supplying our home with power for all lights, heat, TV and most importantly our refrigerators during PG&E power outages.

While Taylor Energy is obviously a thriving business, I think you will find when speaking with Sean you are speaking to a very competent engineer. This is what sold me on Taylor Energy. We highly recommend this solar company.
