New Mexico solar law recognized


New Mexico is one of only five states that have exemplary laws guaranteeing solar access, according to a new report published by the Solar America Board for Codes and Standards.

The report looked at two areas: solar easements, or the ability of one property to receive sunlight across property lines without obstruction from another's trees or buildings; and solar rights, or the ability to install solar energy systems on property that is subject to private covenants and restrictions.

In New Mexico, a property owner can record ownership of a solar energy system and establish a solar easement by filing a declaration with the county clerk's office. The law also allows a property owner to enforce a solar right in court." More>>>>
