Through a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Clear Energy Solar New Mexico finances, builds, owns, and maintains the system on your campus. Your school simply purchases the electricity the system produces — typically at a rate at or below what you pay your utility today — so there is no capital outlay from your budget.

In many cases, no. Clear Energy Solar New Mexico is the CES low-bid contract award winner for PPA solutions, which means eligible schools and public institutions can procure through the CES cooperative contract without conducting a separate RFP. We can walk your business office through the details.

We do — for the life of the agreement. That includes real-time performance monitoring, preventive maintenance, and repairs, at no additional cost to your school.

On-site installation typically takes a few months, and we schedule the most intensive work around your school calendar — summer breaks, holidays, and off-hours — to keep disruption to a minimum. Safety fencing and clear separation from student areas are standard on every project.

Solar systems are designed to produce power for 25+ years. At the end of the term, schools typically have options to renew the agreement, purchase the system, or have it removed — we review these options with you before you ever sign.
