About Us

Experience  /  Professional Training  / Commitment to Sustainability

Our commitment to solar energy is based on its contribution to a sustainable energy infrastructure in a values-based society.  Positive Energy is committed to being a leader on the path toward New Mexico’s sustainable future.  We are an employee-owned business, offset all of our carbon footprint, and we give hundreds of classes and presentations every year for community members and professionals.  In our presentations, we always emphasize energy efficiency and conservation first, and renewable energy to offset what remains.  Employees of Positive Energy personally own and/or live with 7 solar systems, and we’ve installed systems on two of our offices as well.  We are co-op members, belong to credit unions, and shop for organic local food at the farmers’ market.  We are board members, parents, writers and musicians.  We volunteer, we recycle, we bi-cycle and take public transportation.  We buy local.  We stay positive.  We install solar systems for people who are looking for a renewable energy partner.

With more than 580 kilowatts of grid-tied PV and hundreds of PV systems installed and serviced all over New Mexico, our experience is extensive, gained over many years, and specific to the photovoltaic trade in New Mexico.  Five of the current thirteen NABCEP certified PV installers work for Positive Energy.  No other company has more than one, and most have none.  Seven graduates of the Renewable Energy Program at San Juan College work here.  As a result, we know our field better than any company that is new to the trade, is owned or managed by out-of-state entities, or has multiple specialties.  As of year-end 2008, we have installed more systems in PNM service territory than any other company.  We have installed more systems in the City of Santa Fe and the City of Las Cruces than any other company or installer as well.
