Better Together

A local Albuquerque solar company built on decades of experience

Neil Wenderoth and Derek Fannin began working together at an Albuquerque solar company in 2010. After years of leading solar sales and installation teams in California they returned home to New Mexico and founded BT Energy to serve local homeowners and businesses.

Better Together is more than our name because it reflects the way we approach every solar and battery storage project with honest guidance and careful installation as well as dependable support long after the system is turned on.

Why go solar

Make the most of the New Mexico sun.

Lower electric bills

Residential solar panels generate electricity at your home and may reduce how much power you purchase from the utility based on your energy use and system design.

New Mexico solar potential

Albuquerque receives abundant sunshine throughout the year which makes solar a practical energy option for many New Mexico homes and businesses.

Clear energy at home

Each kilowatt hour produced by your solar panels can reduce the amount of electricity your property draws from conventional grid generation.

More control over energy costs

Producing solar energy on site gives you more control over how much utility power you purchase as rates and energy needs change.

“Neil and Derek at BT Energy took excellent care of me when my original solar company left me partially installed! Extremely good communication throughout the entire process of getting my solar commissioned and generating!

Michael Feferman7 months ago · Google
“I recently had a great experience with BT Energy and wanted to share how impressed I was with their team. From the beginning, Neil stood out with his knowledgeable and professional approach. He didn’t just try to sell me solar — he really took the time to educate me on how the system works, what the benefits are, and what to realistically expect. It made the whole process feel transparent and comfortable. That guy really loves what he does. One of the things that gave me the most confidence in BT Energy was learning that their installer is also a certified roofer. The thought of having intrusive work done on my newer roof was a big hangup for me, so this helped me get over that. Overall, the experience felt honest, professional, and well-informed from start to finish. If you’re considering residential solar, I’d definitely recommend giving BT Energy a call.”
