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.
