16kW Ground Mount Solar Panel System in Pojoaque (Jacona)

After we got a proposal from another company, we had Taylor Selby come out and give us his pitch. Unlike the other company, he came with equipment that allowed him to get a solar/shade profile of our property to help locate the best possible place for an installation. The other company proposed a rooftop system but it turns out that given the shade profile that system was only going to provide a fraction of the power the system that Taylor and company came up with. These people were amazing to work with from start to finish. We got to know the install crew pretty well since they were onsite when the said they would be and worked extremely hard to get the system up and running. They had a tricky job to do as well given our house is a mix of 1940/50 double adobe construction along with add-ons over the years including a second floor done in 1985. We bought the house in 1999. If you can imagine the mix of construction, just imagine the variety and up-to-codeness of the electrical work in the house. What a challenge! Tanya's crew divided efforts between bringing our electrical infrastructure up to code and ready for hook-up with the solar unit, and getting the ground mount system installed. Poor Anthony was the one delegated to our "pump house" which is where our grid connection came in. It's an old adobe "shack" we use for storage, our drinking water well is in there, and now a very sweet electrical hook-up for our solar unit. In the end I was hoping the whole crew including the design and sales folks would be onsite so I could pop some champagne in celebration. Lucky for Tanya's crew they were the ones around when I brought the champagne home. Hope they enjoyed it. Oh, and once all inspections were over with the system was switched on and it just worked. On our first day the system produce over 100kWh which turned out to be the average day when the sun was out. I could go on and on about this company. The simply did a terrific job!
