AlbuquerqueLocation

Affordable Solar has been installing solar energy systems in New Mexico since 1998, making them one of the oldest continuously operating solar companies in the state. Based in Albuquerque, the company has spent more than 25 years designing and installing residential and commercial photovoltaic systems across the Land of Enchantment. Their longevity in the market is significant. While many solar companies have come and gone during the industry's boom-and-bust cycles, Affordable Solar has maintained steady operations through multiple economic downturns, policy changes, and shifts in the solar equipment landscape. That kind of staying power speaks to sound business management and a loyal customer base. Affordable Solar carries a 4.9-star Google rating across 358 reviews and is NABCEP certified. Their pricing, as their name suggests, tends to be competitive for the Albuquerque market, with typical residential installations falling in the $15,000 to $25,000 range depending on system size. Affordable Solar earned the top ranking in New Mexico for their unmatched combination of experience, customer satisfaction, and staying power. Twenty-five-plus years in the solar business, in the same state, with the same focus, is rare in this industry.

Our World Energy

AlbuquerqueLocation

Our World Energy has built a substantial presence in the Albuquerque solar market over 10 years of operation, growing into one of the most reviewed residential solar installers in New Mexico. Based in the Duke City and serving communities across the central Rio Grande corridor, the company has accumulated a customer base that reflects steady growth in a state blessed with some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the country. The company's technical credentials include NABCEP-certified installation professionals, Qcells Certified Elite Installer status, and Enphase Elite and Platinum Installer designations. That combination of manufacturer certifications indicates a team that has invested in formal training across both panel and inverter technologies, which matters when it comes to system design optimization and warranty support. Their service portfolio covers residential and commercial solar installations as well as battery storage systems, with the Enphase Platinum designation specifically signaling advanced competency in energy storage integration. Our World Energy carries a 4.8-star Google rating across 690 reviews, a volume that is among the highest for any New Mexico-based solar installer. The sheer number of reviews provides a statistically meaningful sample, and the rating has held steady despite the inevitable variation in customer experience that comes with high installation volume. Customers frequently highlight the knowledge and approachability of the sales and installation teams, with specific praise for representatives who take time to explain system economics without resorting to high-pressure tactics. The company maintains an A-plus BBB rating, though some customer feedback has pointed to delays during the permitting and inspection phase of projects. These bottlenecks are often driven by municipal scheduling rather than installer performance, but they underscore the importance of asking about realistic project timelines during the sales process rather than relying on best-case estimates. New Mexico's solar incentive landscape, including the state tax credit and net metering policies, makes residential solar economics particularly compelling. Our World Energy's decade of navigating that policy environment gives them institutional knowledge of how to structure projects for maximum benefit. With a composite score of 71.1 out of 100, Our World Energy holds the number three ranking among New Mexico solar installers for 2026.

*Companies displaying 15 or more years in business are typically established electrical, roofing, or general contracting firms that expanded into solar installation in more recent years. The years shown may reflect the age of the parent organization or a strategic partner, not necessarily the solar division itself. This distinction is worth considering when comparing to dedicated solar installers, as purpose-built solar companies may offer more specialized expertise despite a shorter operating history.
