Hi, my name is Terry Wolff and my wife is Linda. We have been involved with solar for many years. In 2003 our friend and owner of another local solar company, suggested that we go into the solar business since he had moved to California and felt that there needed to be someone in the Taos area to handle the solar needs of the area.  After some consideration Linda and I agreed that it would be something we would enjoy doing since we have been supporters of solar for decades.  At the present time we are still registered as Taos Green Solar.  Since than, Mark thinks he may have need for the name, so we are waiting to see what Mark wants to do.  So with that in mind, we are moving foreword with a name change to Solar Taos, LLC.  We are relocating all our information pages to either this site or another but we will keep you posted.

Our business is located in Taos County, west of the Rio Grande River Gorge.  We are approximately 15 miles due south of where Taos Green Solar was originally located.  If you are familiar with Taos, than you are aware of our majestic views and open spaces.  We are located on a plateau or mesa which sits 72 hundred feet above sea level where our mountains start and raise up to the heavens.  To our east, we have a spectacular view of the Sangre de Christo mountains.  The views are breath taking and can be overwhelming at times and never ceases to be an inspiring part of our lives.  In order to live where we do, being off the grid is a given and solar and wind is a way of life.

At Solar Taos, LLC we are working hard to offer you the best possible OUR PRICEs we can and will continue to do so whenever possible. 

As mentioned earlier, Solar Taos, LLC is our eCommerce site, and may become our information site as well.

This is a Straw Bale House which my wife Linda
and I designed and built.
 

Before having the solar business, I was a solar user.  I started using solar in the early 70's on my portable art studio/van.  In 1982 when living in southern California, I purchased a bus and converted to a nautical motor home and wood carving studio.  I have been living off the grid ever since.

In 1996 my wife to be, Linda joined me in the motor home and we have lived in it until 2001 when we moved into our pueblo styled straw bale home which we designed and built.

As I mentioned, for us being off the grid is a way of life, a commitment to treading as lightly on this earth which we owe so much to.

This is my solar and wind powered straw bale woodcarving studio.  To the right of the rainbow are the solar panels and wind generator
which keep our homestead up and running.  The small building to the right of the panels is our electric shed. That little window at the left of my studio is where our
office is located.

Linda works in Taos at a really neat kitchen shop called Monet's  Kitchen and does some of the office work around here. I still maintain my woodcarving business as well.

I have been working with AC and low voltage DC electric systems on boats, motor homes, and homes since the mid 70's.  I am certified by Siemens Company for low voltage systems, Dish Network, and Starband Satellite Company to do installations.

Working with us on local installations are Aaron and Linda Chigbrow, contractors from Hawaii.  Since their arrival a few years ago, they have built a number of homes, and have also done some solar installations and welding for some of our clients.

All our electric is manufactured

our buildings.
All our waste water is sent
to a gray water cistern
where it is used
to water the gardens
and fruit trees. 
Our human waste is
also recycled along with table
scraps and plant clippings. 
The perimeter wall around
the house is made from the
clay and sage we cleared off the property and building waste and is covered with adobe mud.
