📉

Your Bill Goes Down

Monthly credits reduce your electric bill for energy you helped produce — at no cost.

You keep your same utility company. Nothing changes except your bill gets smaller. We handle everything behind the scenes.

Your Share of the Farm

This is one of our community solar farms in Belen, New Mexico — part of a 51 MW portfolio powering over 4,000 families. The highlighted section shows roughly what a single household's allocation looks like — about 8 panels generating ~11,500 kWh per year.

You don't own the panels. You don't maintain them. You just receive the bill credits they produce — delivered automatically to your utility account each month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I own the solar panels on my roof?

No solar panels are installed on your property. You're allocated a portion of solar energy produced by our community solar farms located around New Mexico. The farms are owned and maintained by Affordable Solar Group. You simply receive monthly credits on your utility bill.

Will my electric bill definitely go down?

Your bill will decrease by the amount of the solar credit you receive each month. Credits are applied to energy charges only, not fixed monthly charges or taxes. Most families see a 10% reduction in their energy charges, with income-qualified households eligible for 20-30% savings.

What happens if I move?

If you move, you can transfer your solar allocation to your new address (if eligible), or cancel your enrollment at no cost. No penalties or fees apply. See your enrollment agreement for complete details.

How long is the contract?

You can cancel anytime with no fees. We offer a 25-year rate lock guarantee on your solar credit rate, so your benefit grows predictably. But you're never locked in — cancellation is always free.

How are credits calculated?

Credits are based on your allocated share of solar energy production, multiplied by your utility's energy rate. As your utility rates increase (normal inflation), your credit value increases proportionally — you're protected against rising electricity costs.

Do I need good credit to enroll?

No credit check is required. You need only be a current customer of PNM, El Paso Electric, or Xcel Energy in New Mexico. Enrollment is based on your utility account eligibility, not credit history.
