Questions
How do solar panels work in New Mexico's climate?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. New Mexico's 300+ sunny days maximize energy production, with systems designed to handle temperature variations and occasional cloud cover.
What solar incentives are available in New Mexico?
Homeowners qualify for federal tax credits (26%), state tax credits (10% of costs up to $6,000), property tax exemptions, and $0 state sales tax on qualifying solar installations.
How long does solar installation take?
The process typically takes 1-3 months from contract signing to grid connection, with actual panel installation completed in 1-2 days depending on system size.
Do solar panels increase home value?
Yes, studies show solar-powered homes sell 20% faster and can command premiums up to $15,000, while reducing utility costs for future owners.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Panels need biannual cleaning and inspections. Inverters typically last 10-15 years, while most systems carry 25-year warranties covering performance and equipment longevity.
Can I install solar panels myself?
Professional installation is recommended for safety, warranty validity, and grid interconnection compliance. Our certified technicians ensure proper installation and permit acquisition.

Had them come out once for initial assessment and was told we could do some solar for less to power 1/2 of the house. They returned with their expert and got a price well above what we said we could afford, even with whole house. Dont think the rep has the knowledge to be making the claims he did. We were very disappointed.

Great sales, price and follow up for our solar system! We did a lot of research in figuring out if we wanted to go solar and then finding a company to go with. We initially signed up with a company through Costco but got cold feet when digging into the company that they use to provide and install solar, that company is also based in another state. We had Steve from Solar Pro come over to our house and show us what they offer and it ended up being lower cost, better financing plus other perks than the Costco option AND Poulin Solar Pro is local (great for any follow-up/issues), which gave us a

Don't have an experience with this place. I just want to say the man in the commercial REALLLY NEEDS TO BRUSH HIS TEETH PROBABLY EVEN VISIT A DENTIST!!! I couldn't pay any attention to the commercial because all I could focus on is that man's teeth. I'm not trying to be rude. Just think you really should look at your commercial. And get that man to the dentist .... I know I am not the only one who noticed this.... Just think this commercial doesn't benefit your company.... Sorry

We got bids from four highly rated local companies and after review of the proposals and in-person presentation with Steve @ SolarPro decided to go with the system he proposed. The whole process was facilitated by Poulan at every step, went better than I expected, and despite delays by state inspectors and PNM was completed before the end of 2020. Ron and his crew were professional and competent when on site and with all following communications. We would not hesitate to recommend Poulan Solar Pro to anyone interested in solar.

Top of the line equipment for a competitive price. Excellent communication throughout sales and installation and activation, even follow up. Mario at the front end did a great job informing us of options, including financing. Ron and his team did a quick and professional installation. We are delighted to be producing our own power now!
Wooohooo!!!
