RV Solar Installation in Albuquerque, NM
Albuquerque sun is hard on an RV roof and hard on a battery bank, which is why so many rigs here end up adding panels. We found 3 shops in town that do RV solar installation, with an average rating of 3.9. Two of them handle warranty work, so if your panels or controller came with your coach, ask before you book. Sun is free. The wiring that carries it is where the money goes.

What the shops here actually do
All 3 Albuquerque solar shops also list electrical work, and that matters more than the panels themselves. A solar job is really a wiring job: charge controller, shunt, fuse placement, cable routing through the roof. Two of the three also handle roof work, which is the other half of any panel install, since every mount is a hole in your membrane. One shop is mobile, so a tech can come to your storage spot or driveway. Ask who seals the mounts and what sealant they use before anyone drills. The two Blue Compass locations carry parts and handle chassis work, and La Mesa lists warranty and parts as well. If your rig is still under a manufacturer warranty, get pre-approval in writing before the first cut.
Match the shop to the job
A simple two-panel setup with a small controller is a different job from a full lithium conversion with an inverter swap. Tell the shop your battery chemistry, your controller model and what you run off the inverter, and you will get a real quote instead of a guess. Ask whether the part is in stock or on order, because a controller on backorder parks your rig for weeks. Blue Compass RV Albuquerque has the deepest review count at 786 and a 4.2 rating, so it is the busiest option. La Mesa lists the widest range of other repairs, including mobile calls, water heaters and slide-outs, if you want one shop to handle everything at once.
Roof and shade before panels
Our advice: fix the roof first. Two of the three shops here do roof repair, and mounting panels over a soft or leaking membrane just hides the problem. Walk the roof, press on the decking, and look at the sealant around vents and seams. Albuquerque heat and sun dry out lap sealant faster than most owners expect, so a check each spring is cheap insurance against a soaked ceiling. Shade is the other thing. If you park under trees at home, a portable panel may serve you better than a roof mount. Tell the shop where the rig sits when it is not on the road. They will size the array to your real charging conditions, not a brochure.

Questions people ask
How many RV solar installation shops are in Albuquerque?

Will a shop here do warranty work on my solar system?
Two of the three shops handle warranty work, so start there if your panels, controller or inverter came with the coach. Get pre-approval from the warranty provider in writing before the work begins, and confirm whether the shop bills the provider directly or expects you to pay and file.
Should I fix my roof before adding panels?
Yes. Two of the three shops also do roof repair, and every panel mount is a new hole in the membrane. Check the sealant and decking first, have any leaks fixed, then mount. A shop that wants to drill before the roof is sound is a shop to skip.
