How much does solar cost in Mexico? The market is favorable for solar energy projects thanks to low equipment costs,strong renewable energy policies,and several national solar power
Laws surrounding solar power in Mexico and global influences have actually caused the cost of solar panels in Mexico to be lowered substantially. In fact, Mexico is recognized for having record solar prices that have fallen below the average cost of energy from gas and coal.
Solar resources in Mexico are among the best in the world, with annual daily solar irradiance levels ranging between 4.4 kWh/m2 and 6.3 kWh/m2. With the country's solar capacity reaching 10GW at the end of 2021, we expect solar energy to continue to present attractive opportunities for project developers and industrial consumers.
