Historically, the main applications of solar energy technologies in Mexico have been for non-electric active solar system applications for space heating, water heating and drying crops. As in most countries, wind power development preceded solar power initially, due to the lower installation cost.
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.
Using 15% efficient photovoltaics, a square 25 km (16 mi) on each side in the state of Chihuahua or the Sonoran Desert (0.01% of Mexico) could supply all of Mexico's electricity. Concentrated solar power prospects for southwest United States and northern Mexico Installed Capacity of total distributed clean energy in Mexico.
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.
With its exceptional solar resource and declining technology costs, solar power is poised to lead Mexico''s broader transition toward a resilient, low-carbon energy future, provided that
