What is this program?
Community solar—without panels on your roof
Community solar lets many households benefit from electricity produced by a shared solar project. You do not install equipment, replace your utility, or change how electricity reaches your home.
Most people will not notice any difference at home. The change appears on the billing side, where program credits and discounted electricity create the savings.
Common questions
What people usually want to know
Do I need solar panels?
No. Nothing is installed on your home.
Will my electricity be interrupted?
No. Your utility continues delivering electricity just as it does now.
Will I receive more than one bill?
Yes. Your utility continues sending its bill, which includes the program credits. SolScribe sends a separate bill for the discounted electricity associated with those credits.
Does checking commit me to anything?
No. Checking whether the program may work for your household is free.
Why I created this website
A clear answer, not a sales pitch
Community solar can be confusing.
I created The Save Project to explain the program in plain language so New Mexicans can decide whether it is right for them.
If I think the program can save you money, I am happy to help you enroll. If I do not, I will tell you that too.
