Shaw Solar
877 East 3rd St., Durango, Colorado, United States

We are a full-service solar contracting company based in Durango, Colorado, specializing in grid-tied solar electric design and installation.  While solar technology is definitely cutting-edge, we understand that it's not just the equipment that makes for a successful installation, but also a commitment to good old-fashioned customer service and attention to detail.  To this end, our mission is to provide the best customer service out there, while installing state of the art solar systems that are smart, efficient and affordable. Our highly trained professionals will take great care of you every step of the way, from your first phone call through the final inspection.  John Shaw founded Shaw Solar in 2005, after two decades of both solar and traditional energy system design and installation work in Durango and throughout the Four Corners. Along with his brother Charles, John installed and commissioned the first grid-tied PV system in La Plata County back in 2001 - part of the world-famous Smiley Building retrofit.   Today, we're proud to have completed over 240 installations in LPEA's service territory - that's 1,782 kilowatts (kW) of solar power installed and over 1,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide reduced each year. Those carbon dioxide reductions are equivalent to the savings from taking 398 cars off the road every year or planting 48,399 trees! Additionally, we are saving our clients over $350,000 in energy costs each year for years to come.
