Our STORY
Shaw Solar was founded in 2006 by John Shaw, a Master Electrician, after two decades of solar and traditional electric work in the Durango area. (Fun Fact: John installed the first grid-tied PV solar system in La Plata County back in 2001 - part of the world-famous Smily Building retrofit.) Since the company’s inception, the goal has been to provide matchless customer service and help clients find the right solutions to their solar and energy goals.
Over the years, the company has grown to more than a dozen employees and is proud to be our area’s pioneer in cutting-edge solar and storage technology.
It’s also important to note that John understands happy employees produce the best work. The company works hard to foster a healthy work atmosphere and work/life balance. This happiness and fulfillment is evident in the quality work our team does.
“I would rate my experience with Shaw solar as one of the best, most professional business interactions I’ve had in Durango in the 23 years I’ve lived here. The communication was clear and consistent. Steps of the project were completed on schedule and as described and the follow up was excellent. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough. I wish the rest of the world operated this way!”
USING BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD
We are extremely proud to say that Shaw Solar became a Certified B Corporation® (Durango’s 1st!) in the Fall of 2018. Unlike traditional companies, Certified B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their stakeholders (e.g., workers, suppliers, community, consumers, and the environment).
The B Corp ethos - balancing profit and purpose and using business as a force of good - is aligned with everything we believe in, which is why Shaw Solar is thrilled to join the 2,200+ Certified B Corps worldwide in redefining success in business. #BtheChange.
