New Mexico's 320+ days of sunshine make it one of the best states in the country for solar — but only if your roof is ready to support it. Combining roofing and solar installation in a single project is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make.
At AMR 3 Design & Construction LLC, we've seen firsthand how this all-in-one approach saves Albuquerque and Santa Fe homeowners thousands of dollars while delivering a stronger, longer-lasting result.
1. One Crew, One Timeline, One Warranty
When you hire separate roofing and solar contractors, you're juggling two timelines, two crews, and two sets of warranties that often blame each other when something goes wrong. By bundling the work:
- A single team handles everything from tear-off to final solar activation
- You get one unified workmanship warranty
- Roof penetrations are sealed correctly the first time
- No back-and-forth coordination between contractors
2. Significant Cost Savings
Combining the projects eliminates duplicate labor, mobilization, and disposal costs. On average, our clients save 15–25% versus doing the projects separately.
You also avoid the worst-case scenario: installing solar on an aging roof, then having to remove and reinstall the panels (often $3,000–$6,000) when the roof finally fails 5–8 years later.
3. A Stronger, Solar-Ready Roof
We design every roof with solar in mind — proper deck reinforcement, optimal panel orientation, strategic placement of vents and flashing. The result: a roof engineered to support panels for 25+ years without leaks or performance issues.
4. Maximum Federal & State Incentives
Solar installations qualify for the 30% federal solar tax credit, and roof work directly required for the solar system can sometimes qualify too. Bundling the project lets us document everything correctly so you capture every available incentive.
5. Higher Home Value, Lower Bills
A new roof with integrated solar typically increases home value by 4–6% in the New Mexico market and cuts monthly utility bills by 60–90%. That combination pays the system off years faster than solar alone.
