From a financial point of view, solar will recoup the outright cash investment in roughly 8-10 years for New Mexico. Solar PV provides an 8-10% IRR over 20 years or is immediately cash-flow positive (or neutral) if financed (see: own your power). The system also helps lift the grid overall by providing highly valuable ‘peak’ electricity.

Our typical residential solar power job takes us about 40 hours of installation time on the roof and about 10 hours inside the house. We typically send two technicians, so most jobs are completed in 2-4 days.

We do! We are a 100% employee-owned company and take pride in installing all of the residential work ourselves. This means you have a consistent experience with one company, all aligned on making sure you are delighted with your solar experience every step of the way.

Simply put – the sooner you get solar, the sooner you will enjoy its benefits! If you wait for some unproven technology down the road, you will have missed the opportunity to generate your own power now. Solar is like saving for retirement – the sooner you start doing it, the better.

Every kilowatt of the solar array takes about 75 square feet. So a typical 3kW array (twelve panels) will take a roof area about 11′ tall by 20′ wide (two rows of six)..

That varies from home to home based on energy usage, solar exposure, and the size of the building, alongside a few other factors. For a more exact estimate, follow that up with a chat with one of our System Design Specialists.

Today nearly all inverters come with built-in monitoring that varies based on manufacturer. By reconciling your production with your electric bill, you can get a good idea what your household’s electric load is and how much of a difference the photovoltaic system is making.

Yes! Several studies demonstrate that solar homes are worth more money and sell more quickly. .

The short answer is – it depends. Most municipalities will not increase your property tax values due to a solar installation, but it’s worth checking with your town (or city) hall to be sure.
