Last updated: March 8, 2026
In Summary:
New Mexico offers some of the strongest solar economics in the Southwest — over 280 sunny days annually, a generous 10% state tax credit (up to $6,000) with no scheduled expiration, and a brand new $156 million Solar for All program specifically targeting low-income households.
But the solar scene changed dramatically on December 31, 2025, when the federal solar tax credit expired. That 30% federal incentive — worth $6,000-9,000 for most New Mexico homeowners — is now gone.
This guide breaks down every remaining incentive available in New Mexico for 2026, from state tax credits to utility-specific net metering programs. Whether you’re a PNM customer in Albuquerque, an El Paso Electric ratepayer in Las Cruces, or a rural cooperative member, you’ll find the programs that apply to your situation.
What Solar Incentives, Rebates & Tax Credits Are Available in New Mexico in 2026?
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) — EXPIRED
The federal solar tax credit that provided 30% back on installation costs expired on December 31, 2025. Homeowners who installed solar in 2025 can still claim the credit on their 2025 tax return, but systems installed in 2026 or later do not qualify. This was the largest solar incentive, worth $6,000–9,000 for most New Mexico homeowners.
Solar Market Development Tax Credit
New Mexico offers one of the best state solar tax credits in the nation: 10% of total installation costs, capped at $6,000 maximum. The credit is refundable — if the credit exceeds your state tax liability, the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department refunds the difference directly to you. Unused credit can also be carried forward for up to five years. No expiration date currently scheduled.
Solar Property Tax Exemption
Solar energy systems are 100% exempt from property tax assessment in New Mexico. When your home’s value increases due to solar installation, that added value is excluded from property tax calculations permanently. For a typical system adding $20,000 in home value, this saves $200–300 annually in property taxes.
Gross Receipts Tax (Sales Tax) Exemption
New Mexico exempts the purchase and installation of solar energy systems from gross receipts tax — the state’s equivalent of a sales tax. Your installer does not charge the state’s 5%–8.813% GRT on qualifying equipment or labor. The exemption is automatic and applied at point of sale. As of July 1, 2024, paired battery storage equipment is also covered through July 1, 2034.
Solar for All Program ($156 Million)
New Mexico received $156 million in federal Solar for All funding intended to provide solar systems to low-income households at little to no cost. Households at or below 80% of area median income — or enrolled in SNAP or LIHEAP — were eligible. The program is currently paused pending resolution of the EPA grant termination.
PNM Net Metering Program
PNM customers with solar systems under 10 kW receive full retail rate credits for excess energy sent to the grid. This is true net metering, not net billing — you get credited at the same rate you pay (~$0.15–0.16/kWh). Credits roll over month-to-month indefinitely and can be cashed out annually at reduced wholesale rates.
El Paso Electric Net Metering
El Paso Electric customers in southern New Mexico (Las Cruces, Deming area) receive net metering credits at retail rates for systems producing up to 120% of annual consumption. Excess generation credits roll over monthly. One of the most favorable net metering programs in the state with no expiration date currently scheduled.
Xcel Energy Net Metering
Xcel Energy customers in northeastern New Mexico receive net metering at retail rates for systems under 10 kW. Monthly excess credits roll forward indefinitely. Xcel serves smaller portions of New Mexico but offers competitive net metering terms comparable to PNM and El Paso Electric.
Rural Cooperative Net Metering
Many rural electric cooperatives in New Mexico (supplied by Tri-State Generation) offer net metering programs. Terms vary by cooperative but generally provide retail rate credits for excess generation. Check with your specific cooperative: Socorro Electric, Jemez Mountains Electric, Continental Divide Electric, and others.
Energy Storage Tax Credit (HB 51) — Not Enacted
House Bill 51 would have provided a 40% tax credit on battery storage installation costs, capped at $6,000. It was introduced January 21, 2025 but did not pass. Battery storage in New Mexico currently benefits from the gross receipts tax exemption (see above) but has no dedicated state tax credit.
Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)
New Mexico homeowners may be able to sell Solar Renewable Energy Credits through voluntary marketplace platforms. New Mexico has no state SREC mandate, so this is a thin, inconsistent market — treat any revenue as a bonus rather than a reliable income stream. Do not factor SREC income into payback calculations.
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The Credit Has Expired
Here’s what you need to know upfront: the federal solar tax credit — the biggest financial incentive for going solar — expired on December 31, 2025.
The tax changes signed into law in July 2025 eliminated the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for residential solar installations with no phase-down period.
What this means:
If you’re reading this in 2026 or later, the federal tax credit is gone. For a typical 6 kW solar system in New Mexico costing around $20,000, homeowners who installed in 2025 saved $6,000 through the federal tax credit. That incentive is no longer available.
Why this matters:
The federal ITC was the single largest solar incentive, representing 30% of total system costs. Without it, solar installations are significantly more expensive upfront, though the long-term economics (bill savings over 25+ years) still make solar worthwhile for most New Mexico homeowners due to:
- Excellent sun exposure (280+ sunny days annually)
- Strong 10% state tax credit ($6,000 max)
- Retail-rate net metering from major utilities
- High electricity rates ($0.13-0.16/kWh)
- Solar for All program ($156M) — currently paused (EPA termination notice, Aug 2025); monitor EMNRD for reinstatement
What still qualifies:
If you installed solar in 2025 and haven’t yet filed your taxes, you can still claim the credit by filing IRS Form 5695 with your 2025 federal tax return. The credit applies to the tax year when your system received utility “permission to operate.”
Going forward in 2026 and beyond, New Mexico solar incentives focus on:
- New Mexico state tax credit (10%, up to $6,000)
- Property tax exemption (100% of system value)
- Net metering at retail rates (PNM, El Paso Electric, Xcel)
- Solar for All program ($156M for low-income households)
- Proposed battery storage tax credit (40%, up to $6,000 if passed)

New Mexico Solar Market Development Tax Credit
Up to $6,000 from the State
New Mexico offers one of the most generous state solar tax credits in the nation. This is a credit against your New Mexico state income tax, not federal.
The details:
- 10% of your total system cost
- Capped at $6,000 maximum
- Can be claimed for solar PV systems, solar water heaters, and wind systems
- Applies to both primary and secondary residences in New Mexico
How it works:
You calculate 10% of your total installation cost. If that number is less than $6,000, you claim that amount. If it’s more than $6,000, you only claim $6,000.
Example:
- System cost: $24,000
- 10% = $2,400
- You claim: $2,400 (full amount, under the cap)
Another example:
- System cost: $70,000 (large system with battery)
- 10% = $7,000
- You claim: $6,000 (the maximum cap)
If you don’t have enough New Mexico state tax liability to use the full credit in the year you install, you can carry it forward for up to five consecutive years. This is crucial for retirees or anyone with lower state tax bills.
Requirements:
- You must own the system (no leases/PPAs)
- System must be installed on your New Mexico residence
- System must pass building code inspection
- File Form NMAC 3.3.14 (Residential Solar Credit) with your state tax return
- Installation must have occurred after March 1, 2020
Current status: Active, no scheduled expiration as of February 2026
Why this matters in 2026:
With the federal tax credit gone, the New Mexico state credit becomes even more critical. It’s now the primary tax incentive available, and at $6,000 maximum, it’s one of the best state credits in the country (most states offer $1,000-2,000 or nothing at all).

Solar Property Tax Exemption
Your Home Value Goes Up, Your Property Tax Doesn’t
Installing solar panels increases your home’s value — studies show a solar system adds $15,000-25,000 to resale value in New Mexico. But here’s the good news: New Mexico law excludes solar installations from property tax reassessment.
What this means:
If you install a $24,000 solar system, your property value might increase by $20,000. In most states, that would mean higher property taxes every year for as long as you own the home.
In New Mexico? Your property tax bill stays exactly the same.
How it works:
The exemption is automatic. When your county assessor reviews your property, solar energy systems are excluded from the valuation used to calculate property taxes.
This isn’t a one-year break — it’s permanent for as long as you own the system.
What it’s worth:
On a $20,000 increase in home value with a typical 1-1.5% property tax rate, you save approximately $200-300 per year in property taxes you would have otherwise paid.
Over 25 years, that’s $5,000-7,500 in total savings.
What qualifies:
- Solar photovoltaic systems
- Solar water heating systems
- Wind energy systems

Net Metering Programs by Utility
New Mexico is one of the few states that still offers true net metering at full retail rates from major utilities. This is a huge advantage compared to states like Arizona or California that have switched to net billing at reduced export rates.
Here’s how it works: During the day, your solar panels produce more electricity than you’re using. That excess gets sent to the grid, and you earn credits at the same rate you pay for electricity (retail rate). When the sun isn’t shining, you draw from the grid and use your accumulated credits.
Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM)
Service area: Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and surrounding areas
Export rate: Full retail rate (~$0.15-0.16/kWh)
System size limit: 10 kW for residential
Credit rollover: Indefinite monthly rollover
PNM serves over 540,000 customers across central and northern New Mexico. The net metering program is straightforward:
- You receive full retail rate credits for every kWh you export
- Credits roll over month-to-month indefinitely
- Annual “true-up” in April allows you to cash out excess credits at reduced wholesale rates (typically $0.03-0.05/kWh)
- Most customers accumulate credits in summer (high production) and use them in winter (lower production)
Why this matters:
Unlike Arizona (58% of retail), California (varies by time-of-day), or Nevada (75% of retail), New Mexico’s 100% retail rate credit makes solar economics much more attractive. Every kWh you export has the same value as every kWh you import.
El Paso Electric
Service area: Las Cruces, Deming, and southern New Mexico
Export rate: Full retail rate (~$0.14-0.15/kWh)
System size limit: Up to 120% of annual consumption
Credit rollover: Monthly rollover
El Paso Electric’s net metering program includes one unique feature: your system can be sized up to 120% of your annual consumption. This allows for:
- Electric vehicle charging capacity
- Future load growth (heat pumps, pool pumps)
- Seasonal variation in usage
Key feature: Credits never expire as long as you remain a customer
Xcel Energy
Service area: Northeastern New Mexico (smaller footprint)
Export rate: Full retail rate (~$0.13-0.14/kWh)
System size limit: 10 kW for residential
Credit rollover: Indefinite monthly rollover
Xcel serves a limited portion of New Mexico but offers competitive net metering comparable to PNM and El Paso Electric.
Rural Electric Cooperatives
Many rural electric cooperatives in New Mexico (supplied by Tri-State Generation and Transmission) offer net metering programs. Terms vary but generally include retail rate credits.
Cooperatives offering net metering:
- Socorro Electric Cooperative
- Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative
- Continental Divide Electric Cooperative
- Mora-San Miguel Electric Cooperative
- Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative
- Others — check with your specific cooperative
Why New Mexico’s Net Metering is Better Than Most States:
| State | Export Rate | Compared to Retail |
|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | $0.13-0.16/kWh | 100% |
| Arizona (APS) | $0.076/kWh | 58% |
| California (NEM 3.0) | $0.03-0.09/kWh | 20-60% (time-varying) |
| Nevada | $0.09-0.11/kWh | 75% |
| Texas (no mandate) | Varies | 0-100% (if offered) |
New Mexico’s retail-rate net metering is a massive advantage that significantly improves solar ROI compared to states with net billing.

Solar for All Program ($156 Million)
Essentially Free Solar for Low-Income Households
In April 2024, New Mexico received a $156 million grant from the EPA’s Solar for All program — one of the largest state allocations in the nation. This program will fund solar installations for low-income households through 2028.
Who qualifies (when program is reinstated):
Households at or below 80% of area median income (AMI), or those enrolled in federal assistance programs such as SNAP (food stamps) or LIHEAP. The 80% AMI threshold is set by EMNRD; income limits vary by county. Renters and apartment dwellers are also eligible through the community solar component.
Source: EMNRD Solar for All FAQ (emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/solar-for-all-program/)
What it covers:
The program provides full or near-full funding for solar system installation costs. Depending on household income tier, you may pay:
- Nothing (0% cost) for lowest income tier
- Minimal cost (<10% of system) for moderate income tier
- Reduced cost (10-20% of system) for upper qualifying tier
How it works:
- Program launches late 2025/early 2026 (check NM Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department for updates)
- Income-qualified households apply through approved installers or program portal
- System is designed and installed at no or minimal cost
- Homeowner owns the system and receives all benefits (net metering credits, state tax credit if applicable, increased home value)
Why this is huge:
For a typical $24,000 solar system in New Mexico:
- Without Solar for All: $24,000 – $2,400 (state credit) – $1,000 (property tax savings) = ~$20,600 out-of-pocket
- With Solar for All: $0 – $2,400 depending on income tier
This effectively makes solar free or nearly free for nearly half of New Mexico households.
Program timeline:
- Funding available: 2026-2028
- Installations will be prioritized first-come, first-served
- Program ends when $156M is fully allocated (estimated to fund 15,000-20,000 homes)
Additional benefits:
- 30% of program capacity reserved specifically for low-income subscribers
- Community solar options available for renters and those unable to install on their property
- Job training and workforce development included in program funding
Current status: PAUSED. The EPA moved to terminate all Solar for All grants on August 7, 2025, including New Mexico’s $156 million award. EMNRD is pursuing legal and administrative avenues to restore funding but has paused programming until further notice. Monitor emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/solar-for-all-program/ for updates before making any decisions based on this program.
Why you should care:
If you qualify based on income, monitor the EMNRD website for program updates. As of March 2026, the program is paused due to the EPA’s attempt to terminate the grant. Do not delay your installation indefinitely on the expectation this program will launch — if the program is reinstated, EMNRD will announce it at emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/solar-for-all-program/.

Battery Storage Incentives
New Mexico doesn’t currently have an active state battery rebate program, but there’s a proposed tax credit that could become one of the best in the nation if passed.
Energy Storage Tax Credit (House Bill 51)
Status: Proposed legislation, currently in committee as of February 2026
The proposal:
- 40% tax credit on battery storage installation costs
- Capped at $6,000 maximum
- Would apply to New Mexico state income taxes
- Expires January 1, 2031 if enacted
What it would be worth:
Example:
- Tesla Powerwall 3: $15,600 installed
- 40% credit = $6,240
- You claim: $6,000 (the maximum cap)
- Net cost after credit: $9,600
Current status:
Current status: ❌ FAILED
House Bill 51 died in the House Taxation & Revenue Committee during the 2025 legislative session and was not enacted. No equivalent battery storage tax credit exists in New Mexico as of March 2026. A similar bill may be introduced in future sessions — monitor the NM Legislature website for updates.
How to track:
Visit the New Mexico Legislature website and search for “HB 51” to see current status, committee assignments, and voting record.
Why this matters:
If a future battery credit bill passes, New Mexico could offer the best combined solar + battery incentives in the Southwest. For now, battery storage in New Mexico benefits from the solar gross receipts tax exemption (which expanded to cover paired storage as of July 1, 2024) but has no state tax credit.
- Solar: 10% state credit ($6,000 max)
- Battery: 40% state credit ($6,000 max) if HB 51 passes
- Combined: Up to $12,000 in state tax credits alone
Combined with retail-rate net metering, New Mexico would leapfrog states like California and Arizona in solar+storage economics.

Stacking Incentives: The Total Savings (2026)
Let’s look at real examples of how incentives stack for New Mexico homeowners in 2026 without the federal tax credit:
Example 1: Standard Homeowner (6 kW Solar Only)
System: 6 kW solar array
Base cost: $20,000
Available incentives:
- ~~Federal ITC (30%): EXPIRED~~
- New Mexico state credit (10%): -$2,000
- Property tax exemption: $200-300/year (ongoing)
Your net upfront cost: $20,000 – $2,000 = $18,000
For comparison: With 2025 federal credit, net cost would have been: $12,000
Annual value:
- Net metering credits: $1,500-2,200/year (bill offset)
- Avoided property taxes: ~$250/year
- SRECs (if sold): +$135-360/year
Total annual savings: $1,885-2,810/year
Payback period: 6.4-9.6 years (vs. 4-6 years with federal credit)
25-year savings: $47,000-70,000
Example 2: Solar for All Qualifying Household (Program Currently Paused)
Same 6 kW system, $20,000 cost
Note: The Solar for All program is currently paused (EPA termination notice, August 2025). This example shows what savings would look like if the program is reinstated. Do not make installation decisions based on this program until EMNRD confirms it is active.
Available incentives (if program reinstated):
Solar for All grant: -$20,000 (100% coverage for qualifying household)
The reality check:
Even without the federal credit, New Mexico still offers competitive solar economics thanks to:
- Strong state tax credit ($2,000-6,000)
- Retail-rate net metering (unlike AZ/CA/NV)
- Excellent solar resource (280+ sunny days)
- Solar for All for qualifying households
Payback periods are 2-4 years longer than they were with the federal credit, but still reasonable at 6-10 years for most homeowners.
How to Claim Your Incentives (2026)
New Mexico State Tax Credit:
- Complete Form NMAC 3.3.14 (Residential Solar Credit)
- Gather required documentation:
- Itemized invoices showing equipment and labor costs
- Building code inspection report
- Technical specifications of your system
- Contractor’s signature on form
- File with your New Mexico state tax return
- Claim up to $6,000
- Roll over unused credit for up to 5 years if needed
Property Tax Exemption:
- Automatic — applied by county assessor when property is reassessed
- No application required
Net Metering Credits:
- Automatic — utility applies credits monthly to your bill
- Credits roll over month-to-month
- Annual true-up (typically April) for excess credit cash-out
Solar for All Program:
⚠️ Program paused as of August 2025 (EPA termination notice). Steps below reflect the intended process if funding is reinstated.
- Monitor emnrd.nm.gov for program reinstatement announcement
- Verify eligibility based on income (at or below 80% AMI, or SNAP/LIHEAP enrollment)
- Apply through approved installer or directly through portal when available
- System installed at no or minimal cost
- You own system and receive all ongoing benefits
Battery Tax Credit (if HB 51 passes):
- Would follow same process as solar tax credit
- File with New Mexico state tax return
- Track bill progress through NM Legislature website
Note on 2025 Federal Tax Credit:
If you installed solar in 2025 and haven’t yet filed your taxes, you can still claim the expired 30% federal credit by filing IRS Form 5695 with your 2025 federal tax return. But for installations in 2026 or later, the federal credit is not available.
Is Solar Worth It in New Mexico in 2026?
The honest answer: Yes, but the economics have shifted.
Solar in New Mexico is less attractive than it was in 2025 due to the federal tax credit expiration. But it’s still one of the better solar states thanks to:
What still works:
Excellent solar resource — 280+ sunny days, 5-6 peak sun hours daily
Retail-rate net metering — 100% credit for exports (unlike AZ/CA)
Strong state tax credit — 10% up to $6,000 (one of the best)
Rising electricity rates — Averaging $0.13-0.16/kWh and increasing
Solar for All — Program paused (Aug 2025); monitor EMNRD for reinstatement
Battery storage — Covered by gross receipts tax exemption (no dedicated tax credit; HB 51 failed in 2025)
The math that works:
Average New Mexico electricity bills are $90-180/month. Over 25 years, that’s $27,000-54,000 in electricity costs.
A typical solar system offsets 80-95% of that, saving $21,000-51,000 over 25 years.
Net cost after incentives: $18,000 (without Solar for All) or $0 (with Solar for All)
Return on investment: $21,000-51,000 in savings on an $18,000 investment = solid ROI
When it makes sense in 2026:
- You have moderate to high electricity bills ($100+/month)
- You plan to stay in your home 8+ years
- You’re served by PNM, El Paso Electric, or Xcel (retail-rate net metering)
- You qualify for Solar for All (essentially free solar)
- You can claim the state tax credit
- You view solar as a long-term investment, not a quick payback
When to reconsider:
- Your electricity bills are very low ($50-70/month)
- You’re planning to move in 3-5 years
- Your roof needs replacement soon (do that first)
- You’re served by a small cooperative with unfavorable net metering
- Your payback expectations are under 6 years (unlikely without federal credit)
New Mexico vs. Neighboring States (2026):
| State | State Tax Credit | Net Metering | Payback Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | 10% ($6k max) | 100% retail | 6-10 years |
| Arizona | None | 20-60% retail | 9-12 years |
| Colorado | None | Varies | 8-11 years |
| Texas | None | Not required | 10-15 years |
| Utah | 5% ($2k max) | 100% retail | 7-11 years |
New Mexico remains more attractive than most neighboring states even without the federal credit.
Solar payback in New Mexico went from 4-6 years (with federal credit) to 6-10 years (without). That’s a significant change, but for homeowners planning to stay long-term, solar still delivers $21,000-51,000 in lifetime savings on an $18,000 investment.
If you qualify for Solar for All, it’s a no-brainer — free solar with $27,000-54,000 in lifetime savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still claim the federal tax credit in 2026?
No. The 30% federal solar tax credit expired on December 31, 2025. If you installed solar in 2025 and haven’t filed taxes yet, you can still claim it on your 2025 tax return. But for installations in 2026 or later, the federal residential solar credit is no longer available.
What if I don’t have enough tax liability for the state credit?
The New Mexico solar tax credit is refundable — if the credit exceeds your state tax liability, the state will refund the difference to you directly. You don’t need to have a high tax bill to benefit from the full $6,000. Additionally, any unused credit can be carried forward for up to five consecutive years.
Source: EMNRD FAQ (emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/faq1/)
This refundability makes the credit particularly valuable for retirees, lower-income households, and anyone with minimal state tax liability. Unlike the (now-expired) federal ITC — which was nonrefundable — New Mexico’s credit is accessible to nearly all qualifying homeowners.
Source: EMNRD FAQ (emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/faq1/), March 2026
Do leased solar panels qualify for incentives?
No. Leases and PPAs don’t qualify for the state tax credit because you don’t own the system. The leasing company owns it and claims the credit. However, you still benefit from net metering credits automatically since those are based on electricity production.
How do I know if I qualify for Solar for All?
The program is currently paused (EPA attempted to terminate all Solar for All grants on August 7, 2025). When active, income eligibility was set at or below 80% of area median income, or through SNAP/LIHEAP program enrollment. Monitor emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/faq/solar-for-all-program/ for reinstatement updates.
What happens to incentives if I sell my house?
Tax credits you already claimed are yours — they don’t transfer. Property tax exemption transfers automatically to the new owner. Net metering enrollment typically transfers with utility account change. Solar systems generally increase home value by $15,000-25,000 in New Mexico.
Is solar worth it without the federal tax credit?
For most New Mexico homeowners, yes — but payback periods are now 6-10 years instead of 4-6 years. The combination of excellent sunshine, retail-rate net metering, and the 10% state credit still makes solar financially attractive over 25+ years. For Solar for All qualifying households, it’s absolutely worth it since upfront cost is zero.
Can I install solar myself to save money?
Not recommended. DIY installations typically don’t qualify for utility interconnection, won’t pass inspection, void warranties, and you can’t legally pull permits without a license. The labor cost is 10-15% of the total project — not worth losing professional installation, warranties, and utility approval.
What’s the difference between net metering and net billing?
Net metering (what NM has): You get credited at the full retail rate for exported energy (~$0.15/kWh).
Net billing (what AZ has): You get credited at a reduced export rate (~$0.05-0.08/kWh).
New Mexico’s net metering is significantly more valuable.
How long does solar installation take in New Mexico?
From contract to system activation: typically 2-3 months. This includes permitting (3-6 weeks), installation (1-3 days), inspection, and utility interconnection approval.
