Installers, contractors and solar service companies whose service area covers New Mexico.
New Mexico is built for solar — high-desert sunshine among the best in America — and its grid is racing to catch up: solar now supplies nearly a fifth of the state's generating capacity, solar generation has grown eightfold since 2016, more than 57,000 New Mexicans power their homes with it, and developers have another 4.2 gigawatts in the pipeline as utilities work toward the Energy Transition Act's 100% carbon-free standard.
The state's own incentive is a real one. The New Solar Market Development Tax Credit returns 10% of your system's cost, up to $6,000, as a state income tax credit — and if the credit is bigger than your tax bill, the state pays you the difference. It is on the books through 2032 for state-certified systems. Under net metering, the utilities regulated by the Public Regulation Commission must take your excess power — home systems of 10 kW or less are credited in kilowatt-hours carried month to month or paid at the utility's energy rate, with no statewide cap on participation — and a growing community solar program offers a subscription option for homes that can't host panels.
From Albuquerque and Santa Fe to Las Cruces and Farmington, the installers below can make sure your system is state-certified so the credit is locked in before you file.
