Our Off-Grid Services
Off-Grid Solar Power Systems
We design and install custom off-grid solar power systems for homes, cabins, and remote properties throughout New Mexico. Our solar installations include high-efficiency monocrystalline panels, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery banks, MPPT charge controllers, pure sine wave inverters, and optional generator integration for backup power. Systems are sized to your specific energy needs, from small 2 kW cabin setups to full 12 kW whole-home power systems. Every installation includes a complete electrical balance of system, overcurrent protection, grounding, and a monitoring system so you can track your solar production and battery levels. We also offer solar-powered well pump systems that integrate directly with your home solar array.
Water Well Drilling
We provide professional water well drilling services for off-grid and remote properties across New Mexico. Our drilling rigs can reach depths of over 800 feet to access reliable water sources in any terrain. Every well includes proper casing, a solar-powered submersible pump, pressure tank, and basic filtration. We perform site assessments using geological survey data to estimate water table depth before drilling, so you know what to expect. We also install complete off-grid water systems including storage tanks, pressure systems, and UV purification for safe drinking water on remote properties where no municipal water is available.
Septic System Installation
We install fully permitted, code-compliant septic systems for off-grid properties throughout New Mexico. Our team handles every step of the process: NMED permitting, site evaluation, soil and percolation testing, excavation, tank installation, drain field construction, and final inspection. We install conventional gravity septic systems, pump-assisted systems for challenging terrain, and advanced treatment units where required by county regulations. All of our septic installations meet New Mexico Environment Department requirements and pass inspection on the first visit.
