Community solar is cleaner and cheaper to produce. In 2021, New Mexico passed community solar legislation which authorized projects to be built here. These large, 30-acre solar farms provide electricity to many households and businesses without barriers that can be faced with rooftop solar such as cost, home ownership or roof health. Community solar is available to renters and homeowners (no matter the condition of their roofs) and to people without capital to make an investment in other forms of solar.

Over the last two years, Prosperity Works has completed several community solar initiatives to ensure the deepest impact for low-income households in New Mexico. We wrote a best practice guide for the State of New Mexico so that the over 45 projects that will be built in the state will benefit our most vulnerable households. ​Learn more using the link below!
