What is distributed solar energy in Mexico?
Distributed energy in Mexico is classified as any system with a capacity below 500 kW. The National Association of Solar Energy (ANES from the Spanish acronym) reported approximately 21,600 interconnection permits for distributed solar in 2015.
What is the solar energy potential in Mexico?
Solar energy potential in Mexico Mexico has an average solar radiation of 5 kWh/m 2 /day, and in some parts of the country it reaches 6 kWh/m 2 /day . This is high compared to other countries; for instance, the average solar radiation of Germany is 3.2 kWh/m 2 /day .
Is solar PV a viable energy source in Mexico?
Solar PV was successful in both, securing 1,691 MW of the 2,085 MW auctioned in the first and 1573 MW of 3473 MW in the second auction. In 2013, 22% of the installed electricity generation capacity in Mexico was from renewable sources. The majority, 18.1% coming from hydroelectricity, 2.5% from wind power and 0.1% from solar PV.
How much solar power does Mexico need in 2024?
To meet the 35% clean energy target in 2024, Mexico needs at least 128.83 TWh or 42.56 TWh of additional clean energy generation. National solar PV capacity potential is estimated at 24,918 GW.1 This potential capacity could generate 50,196 TWh/yr or 137 times the 365 TWh estimated demand for Mexico in 2024.
Should Mexico switch to solar energy?
Even though Mexico's photovoltaic industry is behind some developed countries, such as Germany, future market and energy trends are showing an increasing and almost compulsory switch to using solar technologies for energy generation.
