As used in the Solar Collector Standards Act [71-6-4 to 71-6-10 NMSA 1978]:
A. "department" means the energy, minerals and natural resources department; and
B. "solar collector" means a component that provides for the collection and transfer of incident solar energy, such transfer to be effected through a liquid or air medium primarily by mechanical means for use in water heating, space heating or cooling or other applications that normally require or would require a conventional source of energy such as petroleum products, natural gas or electricity; but does not include a passive system that uses structural elements of a building to provide for the collection, storage and distribution of solar energy for heating or cooling without the use of a motor-driven fan or pump.
History: Laws 1981, ch. 379, § 16; 2007, ch. 38, § 2.
The 2007 amendment, effective July 1, 2007, in Subsection A, defines "department" and in Subsection B, deletes the exclusion of custom installations to be assembled at the site at which installation is to be made, deletes the exclusion of what are commonly known as "passive systems", and adds the exclusion of a passive system that uses structural elements of a building to provide for the collection, storage and distribution of solar energy for heating or cooling without the use of a motor-driven fan or pump.
