Going solar with PNM
- PNM's Customer Solar Energy Program is available to any residential customer who installs a qualified solar system interconnected to PNM's grid. PNM inspects, installs a meter if required and issues permission to operate. PNM says it does not partner with solar companies to provide incentives, discounts or rebates, and that you, not your contractor, must sign the interconnection application.

- Under the NM PRC rule 17.9.570.14 NMAC, if you generate more than you use in a billing period, the utility credits the excess on your next bill, either at its energy rate or as kWh. Unused credits carry forward month to month. If the utility uses kWh credits, any unused credits are paid at its energy rate when you leave the system.

A note on the federal tax credit
The federal residential clean energy credit (25D) doesn't apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS treats an expenditure as made when installation is completed.
