Solar and energy telemarketing compliance in New Mexico

Guide last reviewed: January 2025

New Mexico Solar Sales Overview

NM is a growing solar market with relatively permissive telemarketing rules. No state registration or state DNC list. Federal TCPA is the primary regulatory framework. Manual dialing to non-DNC numbers is the cleanest path for cold outreach. Automated outreach requires federal TCPA consent. The Unfair Practices Act provides AG enforcement for deceptive solar marketing practices.
