New Mexico ranks #2 in solar resources in the United States. Harnessing a fraction of these abundant resources would help provide the solutions to global warming AND create thousands of jobs for New Mexicans, generate tax dollars, and re-energize local economies.
Solar energy can be captured and stored to heat homes or water or it can generate electricity. Solar energy already is providing power to many New Mexico homes, schools, businesses, and government buildings.
As a general rule, with state and federal tax incentives a typical solar energy electric system for your home can be paid off within 15 years while the lifetime of the equipment is assumed to be 20-30 years. Solar hot water heaters pay for themselves within 10 years even without tax incentives. As the cost of energy increases these payback times will decrease.
