Here are some things we would like you to know about us...
Solar Taos, LLC is a family operated business located in a remote area of Taos County on the west side of the Rio Grande Gorge. We work hard at providing you with the highest quality products we can find. We offer you these products at reasonable prices.
Since we maintaining our small ranch and do installs in remote locations in the surrounding area and Central America,we are not always available to answer phone calls. We encourage you to email us (please use the email link us whenever possible. We check our email and process our orders at least four times a week. We attempt to respond to our emails as soon as possible and phone messages whenever possible. If we do not respond to your email within 48 hours, assume that the email never go to us and resend it as soon as possible.
Please note, we do not keep inventory on most of the products we sell, also many of the products we offer are made once your order has been placed. So delivery times may vary. Most of the companies we work with do not ship overseas. In such cases orders being sent outside of the US main land have to be shipped to us first. You will be notified of any additional or international shipping fees and payment will be due prior to your order being processed.
We deal directly with numerous suppliers and manufactures thus relying on their shipping schedules. There are also a number of products which have which have to be custom manufactured once you order them. With this in mind please note that we do not offer express delivery. So if you are looking for over night delivery, we may not be the right store for you but you are welcome to contact us and see what we can do.
I would also like to mention that we are semi-retired from the most solar related business and that I have been a professional woodcarver and woodworker for well over thirty years now. We have scaled back and are keeping this vital web based solar resource and business going mainly because we believe in these great products and the good that alternative energy is for this country, the world in general, and all its people. In addition there are becoming fewer solar dealers who want to offer the wide range of products we offer.
A number of the products offered are manufactured by small businesses or myself, who do not have the resources to maintain an inventory of completed products. So these products are assembled once your order has been processed. Please be aware that such products could take a month or more to complete depending on their work load. If you need to cancel one of these orders there may be a cancellation fee. Some of these products may include some appliances, battery boxes, hydroelectric and wind turbines, solar coolers, and others.
Some items such as appliances, pv modules, solar collectors, solar storage tanks, solar storage batteries, composting toilets, pv mounting racks and trackers usually require addition freight fees due to their size and weight. These additional fees do not show up in to your shopping cart order, therefore if additional fees are required you will be notified of such once the manufacture or vendor supplies us with said information. Once we know what these fees are, you will be invoiced for the additional freight.
If you need a quote on items you are thinking of purchasing you can do that on-line by going through the motions of placing an order. The difference is that when you are done selecting the items you want, print out your order page or write the information down and exit the shopping cart before going to the payment page. This will provide you with your quote.
On large orders of $5,000 or more we will ask you to pay by wire transfer or cashiers check within 10 business days before we have your order shipped. Your credit card payment will be refunded once we have received your payment.
Finally, I would encourage you to consider purchasing your full energy system from us and hire a qualified electrician to do assist you or to do your own installation if you are qualified. During the past few years we have noticed that there are a lot of "new comers" in the solar business that are presenting themselves as somewhat more then they should be, we have also noticed that they tend to sell what is best for their company and at much higher costs. Not best for you, the consumer and end user. I encourage each of you to do the following…
