Positive Energy Solar

This system is a hybrid - we can sell power or go onto battery backup in case of an outage. The backup will run our outside well, a freezer, fridg, some lights, milking machine, and pasteurizer. We told Allen what we wanted and he designed it for us and our budget. We are extremely pleased with the work Allen and Postive Energy did for us. I would highly recommend them- expecially for on/off grid work.

Reliable and pleasant to work with from start to finish

Exceeded high expectations!

Postivie Energy is a great company to work with.

Mark spent a lot of time answering my questions prior to signing the contract and was always easy to contact. The work was done on schedule, and in a very professional manner. The system has been performing better than originally projected. Positive Energy has continued to help with system registration and utility billing issues. I`m a happy customer.

Pleasure to work with!

Mark Westbrock is great to deal with.

This was an addition to a system installed the previous year. Would we use them again ? Certainly!

We can`t praise enough the work and professionalism of Mark Westbrock. He is simply superb.

It took a very long time for me to figure out what kind and how large a system to install. Mark was unfailingly helpful and responsive. The installers were always cheerful, even when the weather was at its worst. The system provides a larger percentage of power requirements than I had anticipated. Thanks!

Bar none this was the best experience I have ever had with a contractor.

Check back with me in a year or so...if possible. if there are incentives i would love to have them...

Very professional group, highly experienced, well-credentialed for solar power installations. I spoke to five vendors before selecting Positive Energy, as being clearly the best qualified to do the work.

Not only was the installation smooth, but the follow-up regarding forms and data for the tax credits was also greatly appreciated. It is especially nice that for most months of the year to local utility pays me, rather then my paying them.

I cannot think of anyway Mark and his crew could have been better. Everything went according to plan and schedule. And the system is working wonderfully.

The Positive Energy crew that installed our photovoltaic system was extremely competent, professional, and committed to installing a system of the highest possible quality. They were very respectful of our home and conscious of how the job site looked. When interacting with us, they were polite and always refered to us by our names. The system is performing flawlessly and our meter is running backward! Another thing we especially appreciated was the comprehensive owners manual and the fact that they took care of all of the paperwork required for El Paso Electric Interconnection Agreement and REC Program, and the State and Federal Tax Credits. Thanks Positive Energy and Mark, Conor, Anthony, Tony, and Christy. Please check the wording - some of the questions are hard to understand. "Do this project work.."

Mr. Westbrock is very professional and technically competent. He also spent a lot of personal time, without legal counsel, before the State Regulatory Commission (PRC) presenting evidence and helping the commission to make rules supporting the state`s requirement for renewable energy production. This was the rule that instituted the Renewable Energy Credit of $ .13 with El Paso Electric and which makes photovoltaic a no brainer in an economic sense. By helping to get us the REC as well as net metering, we receive a benefit of approximately $ .25/kwh. Remember that Mark and Positive Energy did this for you! My first installation was in November of 2008 for a 2.6 kw system. I asked Positive Energy to install additional panels to bring my capacity to 3.4 kw in October 2009. Both jobs were completed on time, at or below the quote and have performed perfectly ever since. I net an average of $ 60/month plus free electricity from El Paso Electric. I am quite happy with the system and with Positive Energy.

Although I have only had the PV system for one month, it seems to operate very well. The first month production exceeds slightly Positive Energy`s estimate for this time of year. Solar-estimate`s estimates for production in the Las Cruces area are low by about 10%. The only complaint I have relates to the monitoring system. The monitoring through the internet does not work very well, but it is a "nice to have" extra, not something you really need. You can always check your rec meter for total production. I understand Sun Power is working on some fixes for the monitoring system.

I was extremely impressed by the staff of Positive Energy. From the first call to the final handshake, it was obvious that they are interested in customer satisfaction not just selling a product. Appointments were made and kept. All the staff were well informed, great teachers as well as installers and overall very pleasant. Staff was very accessable and eager to meet my needs. I have already recommended Positive Energy to friends, family and colleagues.

Project took longer to start because of permitting problems with City of Santa Fe. Tracking Motors were very late in delivery, probably due to no fault of Positive Energy. Main complaint was finding that electric panel had to be upgraded, just before system was to be connected to home. This should have been caught earlier. System works great. Produces more electricity than estimated (so far at least) by Positive Energy.
