The whole process went smoothly from start to finish. The estimate, permitting, and installation all proceeded without any problems. The app provides all the info needed, and Positive Energy Solar made it easy to get my loan and provided IRS documents. And they are local.
Very professional team, every part of the experience was easy. I’ve had my system for several years now and would recommend Positive Energy Solar to anyone. Going solar was the best decision I’ve made to improve my home. Thank you for the quality work.
Had an excellent experience with Positive Energy Solar. They did everything they promised on time, cleaned up after themselves, scheduled and managed subcontractors, and handled all paperwork and permits efficiently.
Great Experience, Painless Process Positive Energy was great to work with! All of the options were explained to me and the process was clear and straightforward. We had a concerned neighbor, but Positive Energy said that customer relations extended to our neighbors as well.. they took care of the process, moved some things around from the original design and appeased the neighbor and my HOA. I didn”t even have to get involved!
Performs exactly as promised with no problems!
Positive Energy did a great job for us! From start to finish they were professional, courteous, responsible and timely. They provide an excellent product and excellent workmanship. Our system is up and running perfectly.
Positive Energy Solar is the best. They got on the roof, took pictures, explained everything, all before the quote. We felt like we knew what we were getting. The installation crew did a good job. They were on time, professional and and pleasant. Even the dogs liked them. Our electric bills are substantially lower. We would completely recommend Positive Energy.
These guys are the best! We have had PosE install three arrays for us, a 10kW and 4kW at our home, and a 6kW at our gallery in the historic district of Santa Fe. We could not have been happier working with such a conscientious, professional and knowledgeable team.
The installers were terrific. They really were knowledgeable, and knew what they were doing. The sales, as well, were keenly interested, engaged, and knowledgeable. If you decide to go solar, go with this outfit!
Positive Energy has a good customer mindset. We have a very distant northern New Mexico house and Positive Energy has provided us with an ongoing support mechanism and has not forgotten the far flung customers. We have been solar for 9 years now.
I had a great experience working with Positive Energy from sales through install to showing me how it all works. I had familiarity with PV before this purchase but their staff filled me on an every detail I needed to know. The installation went very smoothly and their follow up with the paperwork necessary to file for the tax credit was excellent.
Love the PV array (6.1 kw)designed and installed by Positive Energy. They were professional and expedient, with nice folks handling sales all the way through construction and commissioning. The system was put in on time and has delivered as promised (even a little better than as promised!).
This has been one of the most satisfying things I have done ever because it is the gift the keeps on giving. Every check I get from PNM paying me for the electricity I have generated is a delight.
Great service great people Positive energy sales people were able to answer and take care of all my needs. They are very knowledgeable and very kind. They drove over an hour to see us a number of times. I highly recommend them. And the installers were top notch they did a great job in a very timely manner.
All Positive Energy employees involved in our project were: professional, courteous, and caring people. The system was installed ahead of schedule and it only took 3 days to install. The installers cleaned up at the end of each day and they even took time to play with our dog in the backyard!
I have nothing but great things to say about the entire Positive Energy Solar company experience. From Taylor Selby to Kimberly Botza, to Tom and Thomas Gray the Design and Project Manager, it”s a crew that does what they say and takes pride in their product.
Great people and product I am so impressed by the people in this company. Everything they do has the customer in mind. I couldn”t be happier with every aspect of the service I received. Call them! You will like them.

Solar in New Mexico Just Makes Sense.
With 300+ days of sunny weather, powering your home or business with solar panels in New Mexico is an easy & smart way to save on energy costs while doing your part to combat climate change. By switching to solar, you own your energy source instead of relying on your utility provider. Choosing to install solar panels is an environmentally and economically prudent investment.
Reduce Your Dependency on Fossil Fuel
Most people are aware that renewable energy sources are better for our planet and the people on it, when compared to nonrenewable forms of energy production such as burning fossil fuels. Did you know that electric power generates the second largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. (around 25%) and a majority of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, mostly coal and natural gas.
Lower Your Energy Costs & Lock In Electricity Rate for Years
Electricity rates are rising—and they're not slowing down. In New Mexico, utility costs typically go up by 15% or more every four years. That means your monthly bill could double in just over a decade. Going solar puts you in control. By generating your own power, you protect yourself from unpredictable rate hikes and reduce or even eliminate your reliance on the utility company. It's a smart move for your wallet—one of the most reliable financial decisions you can make for your home or business.
A Strong Investment, Adding Value to Your Home or Business
As solar has become mainstream, a number of recent studies have sought to help homeowners, appraisers, and real estate professionals through the process of assessing the appropriate value for a solar energy system on a home in the event of a sale. While there’s no guarantee of increased value, the National Bureau of Economic Research (“Understanding the Solar Home Price Premium: Electricity Generation and ‘Green’ Social Status“) found that PV systems “add 3.6% to the sales price of a home.” Similar studies from Zillow & Berkley Lab concluded the same. Think about it, wouldn’t it be appealing to buy a property without a monthly electric bill?
Solar Tax Credits & Incentives
New Mexico solar tax credits provide a 10% savings (up to $6000) to help with the cost of investing in solar panels.
PNM and other electrical utility companies also offer various net-metering programs that credit you for excess energy you send back to the grid.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in New Mexico
Are solar panels worth it in New Mexico?
New Mexico's combination of sunny climate, generous incentives and increasing energy costs can make solar panels a worthwhile investment for most people. We believe you should be informed so that you can make a smart decision you'll be proud of, and we're happy to provide a free analysis to show you!
How does solar buyback & net-metering work in New Mexico?
Net metering allows you to earn credits for the extra electricity your solar panels produce. When your system generates more power than your home uses, that energy goes to the grid, and you're credited on your bill. You can use these credits during times when your panels aren’t producing, like at night! Utilities like PNM offer 1:1 net metering, which is one of the best incentives available.
Our technical advisors are versed in New Mexico's various utility net-metering programs and can explain how you'll receive credit for your energy production.
How many solar panels do I need?
We don't guess—we measure. Before installation, we evaluate and discuss your energy usage and needs. Then we use a combination of real-world production data from similar systems, advanced software modeling, and a detailed property analysis to provide a "right-sized" system that is as accurate as possible. This proprietary energy modeling has been crafted over our decades of operation. A free energy and property assessment is required to accurately provide the number of solar panels you'll need.
What should I look for when choosing the best solar installation company?
We believe the most important factor is the reliability. Look for a company with:
- A long, local track record and proven stability
- Certified, licensed in-house installers
- Strong customer reviews and satisfaction ratings
- In-house service, monitoring, and after-sale support capabilities
- Transparent, pressure-free sales practices
- High-quality equipment and warranties
Do I need a battery with my solar system?
No. Batteries like the Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery are optional but beneficial. While not required for grid-tied systems, batteries provide reliable backup power during outages and greater energy independence.
How long will my solar energy system last?
A well-designed solar system should last several decades. Positive Energy Solar systems come the industry's most comprehensive 30-year complete confidence warranty, giving you peace of mind for the future.
What are the best solar panels and does it matter?
Cheaper solar panels often cost more in the long run. What you're really paying for is the energy your system will generate over time—so it's critical to choose panels and other equipment that can deliver reliable performance for decades. At Positive Energy Solar, we only install panels that meet the highest standards for efficiency, aesthetics, and longevity.
Can solar panels work during cloudy days or in winter?
Yes, today's high efficiency solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days and during winter months, although their efficiency may be reduced. They are designed to capture sunlight even in less-than-ideal conditions.
