Solar projects within local communities encounter skepticism from New Mexico residents, affecting several companies
Getting a taste of solar energy without the headache of rooftop panels? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! New Mexicans can now join the community solar energy movement and enjoy cheaper utility bills. But, understandably, some misgivings about scams might be lingering.
Let's clear the air. Community solar programs means folks like you and me, renters, homeowners, and businesses can jump on the green energy bandwagon—all without breaking the bank or having a suitable roof for solar panels.
But how does it work, you ask? Simple. Through shared ownership and the magical concept of virtual net metering, multiple individuals can reap the benefits of a single solar installation. You'll receive bill credits for energy generated by this single solar project, and it gets credited to your electricity bills. Think of it as sharing the goodness of solar energy with your next-door neighbor.
Best of all, community solar programs offer guaranteed monthly savings! Just imagine cutting down on those utility costs, especially in a sun-drenched state like New Mexico!
Now that we've covered the basics, let's address the elephant in the room: fear of being scammed. While there may be authentic community solar programs, there are also those that might not give you the cost savings they promise. These could be projects owned by utilities, focusing more on their profits than your savings.
To ensure you're getting the real deal, do your homework. Research any community solar program you're considering and make sure it aligns with supportive state policies ensuring genuine savings. Opt for programs owned by non-utility entities for maximum benefits. And don't forget to check for robust consumer protection measures in place to safeguard you from potential scams.
Remember, going green never felt this good! By joining New Mexico's community solar program, you're not just saving money—you're also making a positive impact on the environment and your community. So, sign up today and let the sunshine in!
