Who I Am
Solar Energy Consultant, Real Estate Agent, Volunteer Firefighter, Father, Son, Brother, Husband, Uncle, and Friend to Many
I am Jim Turner. I was born and raised in the suburbs north of Pittsburgh, and now live in Butler County, PA with my wife and our daughter.
I am a Residential Solar Energy Consultant, working with Lifestyle Solar, a Pittsburgh, PA based firm that is the sole distributor and installer of Palmetto Solar products in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
My goal is to assist people in determining if adding Solar Power Generation to their home is a good fit by analyzing their home site, their energy consumption and costs. This allows for estimating system size, potential savings, and designing the best system to fit their needs.
While I do sell solar installations, I don’t view that as my job. I aim to educate and guide, not talk you into something that I want you to buy. Solar should make sense for you and your family. If it doesn't, I will cancel our appointment so I don't waste our time.
My goal is to help you obtain YOUR goal, and I will go above and beyond to do so.
