One of the critical items Poulin Solar needed to do was obtain permission from PNM to proceed with the project. After 4 & 1/2 months of inactivity, only excuses for lack of progress, I cancelled the contract. Seven months later, I get an e-mail stating I owe them $2500 for services rendered. I hired…

This calculator sizes a solar system from your electricity use. Your monthly bill, divided by the average New Mexico electricity price, gives your yearly use; New Mexico's sunshine (1,779 kWh per kW of panels a year) then gives the system size that covers it, adjusted for roof direction and shade. The installed price is that size multiplied by the price per watt homeowners in New Mexico pay installers. Payback compares that price with what the panels save at New Mexico power prices, assuming prices rise 3% a year.
An estimate, not a quote. Roof size and pitch, shading, equipment, permits and the installer all change the final price; installers confirm it after a site visit.
