Located in the sun belt, Mexico represents one of the most attractive locations world-wide for photo-voltaics in terms of the amount of solar irradiation. Solar electricity from systems of up to 500 kWh is invoiced via the net metering procedure. Current electricity prices make photovoltaic systems with an output of up to 25 kWp attractive for own-consumption. The installed photovoltaic capacity is currently relatively low. Experts believe that 2016 could see growth in this area of ca. 645 MW; 2017 could even see a further 1.5 GW being added.
