The Energy and Mineral Resources Department (EMNRD) has issued over $10 million in tax credit certificates to New Mexico residents who install solar energy systems in their homes in 2022. State law allows the agency to grant her $12 million in tax credits for the 2022 tax year in total.

The Solar Market Development Tax Credit Program provides a 10% tax credit of up to $6,000 on solar system installation costs for eligible solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) systems.
