You keep your same utility company — your bill just gets smaller. Renters, homeowners, and income-qualified households are all welcome, and every subscriber helps build more community solar for New Mexico.
Community Impact
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
No — nothing is 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.
Community solar works through two separate bills, so we keep a payment method on file. First, your share of the solar farm shows up as a credit that lowers your utility bill (PNM, El Paso Electric, or Xcel). Then Solscribe invoices you for those credits minus your discount — 10% standard, or 28% income-qualified — so our invoice is always smaller than the credit you received. You come out ahead every month, and if there are no credits in a given month, there's no charge. Here's the 55-second version:
Yes — 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.
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.
The agreement runs 25 years, which locks in your solar credit rate for the full term — but you can cancel anytime with no early-cancellation fee. You get long-term rate protection without ever being locked in.
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.
No — there's no credit check. 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.
