Cost of Solar in New Mexico
Solar Installation Process in New Mexico
The cost of your solar system will depend on many different factors such as the size of your roof, your energy consumption, shading, number of panels, etc. There are also other factors to think about like permitting costs, and federal, state, and local incentives which will all have an impact on the final true cost. The only way to know how much solar will really cost for you is by getting a proposal designed for your home. We know it can be helpful to get a general estimate though so according to EnergySage, as of 2021 the average cost of a solar system before tax credits have been applied is anywhere from $13,642 to $18,458. After financing their system, many homeowners in New Mexico have been able to save money by going solar. Homeowners with a credit score over 650 and who make at least $40,000 a year have a great chance at qualifying for financing. When you work with Noble Solar, we’ll include the cost of labor in our initial quote to make the breakdown as simple as possible.
The solar installation process in New Mexico works the same as any other state. Since New Mexico has a net metering program, many homeowners stay connected to the grid so that they can take advantage of those benefits. Solar can be installed almost all year but we recommend installing your system in winter or spring so you are ready for the summer months and the installation crew won’t have to brave the summer temperatures.
