We are the design and build experts. We have all the licenses, background, and know-how to handle any job, no matter how complicated. If we don’t have the expertise in-house, we can contract it under our GB-98 so that you only have one point of contact.
310 Handles the Whole Process
Solar energy systems, providing free electricity and heat, might seem a "no brainer" in the Southwest. New Mexico is blessed with an average 310 days of sunshine per year, so a modest solar system can produce as much renewable energy as a larger system would in other parts of the world.
But implementing a reliable and efficient solar energy system still begins with technical knowledge and experience. Besides efficient system design and building practices, there's the inspection of the work, the utility's interconnection process, integration with the structure, and familiarity with state and federal renewable energy tax incentives. At 310 SolarSM, our people have the skills and the exerience to make the purchase and integration of solar systems as simple as possible.
We handle the whole process so you don't have to. From education, structure analysis, efficiency considerations, permitting, incentives and pricing, to utility interconnection and inspections — the whole 9 yards. Whether you're a homeowner, home builder , architect, or facility manager, 310 SolarSM is your premier supplier of solar energy systems.
310 average days of sunshine mean more energy from smaller solar systems.
At 310 SolarSM, we believe that solar power generation by the end-user will be a large part of a genuine revolution in the way the country produces and uses energy. The realities of climate change, the worsening energy crisis, the national security challenges created by years of bad energy policy, and the undisputed need for greater energy independence are factors that have already begun to shape the economics of energy, and we are proud to be part of the revolution.
310 SolarSM offers "Total Energy Solution"
"Total Energy Solution" finds energy waste using infrared photography.
Efficiency is the key!
Solar systems are only as good as the efficiency of the structure that they support. 310 SolarSM is the only installer in the region that approaches every job as a "Total Energy Solution" in conjunction with our energy efficiency professional partners.
"HERS" – Home Energy Rating System
310 SolarSM will work with local energy professionals to perform a complete "energy audit" on your home or business. That is a top-to-bottom evaluation of your energy usage and efficiency using a certified Home Energy Rating System, or "HERS" rater. A HERS Energy Audit identifies ways to increase efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and save you money.
After performing the audit, they will draft a complete report that catalogs everything they have identified to improve efficiency, including infrared photos like the one above to graphically demonstrate where your energy dollars are literally leaking out, summer or winter. This is incredibly important in tackling the total energy solution because the more efficient the structure, the less you need to spend on a properly sized solar system.
You'll probably be surprised at just how much money this can save. To see what HERS raters do in more detail, check out the website for local HERS rater Walker Energy Services.
Unlike some energy audits, we won't just hand you the list so you can spend your weekends searching Lowe’s or Home Depot for insulation, caulking and thermal tape. We eliminate that headache and do whatever it takes to get your home or business into shape to get the most benefit from your solar system.
