Solar Batteries & Energy Storage for Your New Mexico Home
Whether you’re looking for the peace of mind provided by backup power during outages, a lower carbon footprint by using more of your solar energy, or simply to have more control over your home’s energy usage, solar home batteries can provide safety and freedom inside your home, regardless of what happens outside of it. Positive Energy Solar is New Mexico's local, trusted Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer.
Most residential battery systems fall into two basic categories: optional backup loads and whole home backup. The first category requires dramatically less storage capacity and generally costs less than a sophisticated entire-home battery system.

What Can a Solar Battery Backup System Do for You?
Use more of your solar energy
Battery storage provides people going solar-- as well as those with existing systems-- an efficient way to stretch that sun energy through the evening and into the night. Solar panels with batteries can operate in self-consumption mode, which allows homeowners to charge their battery during the day, when solar production typically exceeds electricity consumption, and discharge the battery at night. This means homeowners will be able to utilize more of the clean energy their solar system produces, while reducing dependence on their utility.
Never be in the dark again
Increased prevalence of severe weather events, forest fires, aging electrical infrastructure, and other factors are resulting in more frequent power outages in New Mexico and across the United States. Solar energy systems are a great way to save money and generate clean energy. However, traditional grid-tied solar arrays are designed to shut down when they lose grid connection during a power outage to avoid back-feeding the grid. Solar batteries solve this issue by storing your excess power for when you need it most, allowing you to generate and use energy without sending any of it back to the grid.
Whether you’re looking for a whole-home battery backup solution, or just need to ensure the lights stay on at night and food stays fresh in the refrigerator – Positive Energy Solar has an energy storage solution to fit your needs.
Protection against utility rate changes
While most New Mexico utilities don’t charge rates based on demand levels (known as time-of-use), numerous utilities in the West and Southwest do, and many expect this to affect New Mexicans in the coming years as utility rates continue to rise and future smart-grid infrastructure is rolled out. With a solar + battery solution, you’ll be prepared for whatever the future holds.

"Couldn't be more pleased!"Our experience with Positive Energy Solar couldn't have been easier or more professional. Our contact, Taylor, explained everything clearly, giving us various options to choose from, both in terms of how much solar we wanted to install and whether we wanted to pay up front or choose a pay-as-you-generate plan. Everyone we dealt with was professional and courteous and we got our panels installed in a timely manner. We are now enjoying our website monitor that tells us every day how much electricity we have generated. Between our solar array and our new electric car, we are thrilled to be "part of the solution."- Diane and Peter

"The follow up once installed is beyond expectations. Their team is made up of solar experts who really care about their clients."Over the last 6 years, my wife and I have worked with Positive Energy Solar to install solar panels on 2 homes we've owned here in Santa Fe. From specifying to design and placement, their service and workmanship are excellent. After the installation they followed up to assure full output and taught me how to read the monitoring system. In both cases they specified the correct system through careful review of my electric bills, then did proper installation with very durable components and methods of anchoring, all properly wired to code. The follow up once installed is beyond expectations. Their team is made up of solar experts who really care about their clients. We are very pleased to be converting the New Mexico Sun into electric energy. We are very pleased with the entire program and results.- Paul Kalenian

"The whole team worked excellently together. Thanks for having good people working there."I wanted to get in touch about the recent work that [your] crew did repairing the solar tracker that was wobbly and making a lot of noise. Since this was the first time the tracker manufacturer had heard of the problem of the bearings wearing out, obviously there was no guide for Don to follow in fixing the thing. He came out with a crew of appropriate size for the job, had all the equipment and tools he needed for the job, and had obviously thought a great deal about how to proceed. He had designed a clever jig to hold the tracker panels in place while the one large bolt that holds the assembly together was removed. He manufactured the jig on site, requiring considerable carpentry skill, and put it in place, and it worked very well. Keeping the large panel stationary during the removal and replacement of the bearings in the wind was quite an accomplishment. The whole team worked excellently together, demonstrating how team work can really work well in this sort of situation. I wanted to take the opportunity to commend Don on a job well done, and the rest of the crew as well, though Don clearly had thought through all aspects of the job and did it well!! Thanks for having good people working there.- Steve F & Elaine S.

"My husband's high standards for the installation were met. We're grateful to have your professional service to install and maintain our solar system."To the Installers, concerning your skill: You did a beautiful job: the conduit pipes fit the house. There are no overlaps or gaps. I appreciate the subtle bends in the pipe that you took time to study and create. The pipe fits the contours of the stucco wall, not just around corners but also along the lengths of the "flat wall" which have slight curves. I appreciate your finished conduit work as both skill and artistry. Thank you for painting the conduit with intelligence, that is, smoothly and with no mess, splatters or any other potential detraction. I was worried about the effect of the cold (in the 30 degrees') on the paint on that day, but problems with the paint didn't materialize due to your skill/experience. Concerning the actual solar panels, sitting on their weighted "cradles:" They look clean, modern and efficient - which actually means they're quite beautiful. My husband's high standards for the installation were also met. We're looking forward when, after the inspection, we can finally turn on the array and know that we're utilizing the sun's energy rather than using fossil fuels. Very exciting! We're grateful to have your professional service to install and maintain our solar system. Respectfully, Dolores & Paul M.- Dolores & Paul M.
