One team. Your whole home.
We started in 2015 as Solar Works Energy — a small solar installer with a big idea: your home's solar, roof, windows, and batteries should work as one system, not separate projects from separate contractors. A decade and 4,000+ installs later, we rebranded in 2025 as Epex Home Performance to reflect what we actually do — coordinate the whole home, in the right order, with one local team.

What We Stand For
Built on principles, not shortcuts
Every project we take on reflects the same four commitments.
Whole-Home Thinking
We see your home as one connected system — solar, roof, windows, and batteries designed to work together.
Honest Communication
Clear timelines, real pricing, no surprises. You know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Craftsmanship
NABCEP + GAF credentials earned, not bought. Every installation meets the standards we would demand for our own homes.
Community
Locally owned, locally operated, locally invested. This is our home too, and we treat every project like it matters — because it does.

Frequently Asked Questions
We were founded in 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico — originally as Solar Works Energy. After expanding into roofing, windows, batteries, electrical, and whole-home performance, we rebranded to Epex Home Performance in 2025. We've completed over 4,000 installs across the ABQ metro, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, and surrounding areas.
Our solar work is led by NABCEP PVIP-certified professionals. As a company, Epex is GAF Master Elite certified (a designation held by roughly the top 2% of roofing contractors in North America), BBB A+ accredited, an ENERGY STAR Partner (windows), and VELUX Certified (skylights).
We serve Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Corrales, and the surrounding communities of central New Mexico. We also serve Las Cruces and Doña Ana County from a full local office in the Mesilla Valley — not a service-area stretch from Albuquerque.
Most contractors specialize — they do solar OR roofing OR windows. Epex is the rare Albuquerque team that handles solar, roofing, windows, battery storage, electrical panels, skylights, and stucco under one roof. That means one timeline, one point of accountability, and the right upgrades in the right order (roof before solar, panel before battery, etc.) instead of piecemeal decisions across multiple vendors.
