Solar Design Mexico


Energy Usage

How much energy your Mexico home uses daily directly impacts the solar system size you'll need. The average household uses around 15 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient properties may use only half that.

Before installing solar it is often a good investment to first look to reduce your energy consumption where possible. This can be done through improved insulation, and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Mexico:

Low (Efficient)
~3 kWh
Medium (average)
~4 kWh
High (intensive)
~6+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

A solar system sized at approximately 3.9kW would cover your typical daily energy needs. For best results, size your system between 5.9kW and 7.9kW to account for fluctuations in solar output throughout the day and year.

A 6.6 kW solar array in Mexico delivers approximately 29.9 kWh daily, with generation varying seasonally from 4.01 kWh/kW/day in December up to 4.89 kWh/kW/day in September.

A 6.6 kW system in Mexico can generate approximately 0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Mexico


Solar Battery Sizing

A 6.6 kW solar-only setup in Mexico delivers around 50% self-sufficiency, leaving 50% dependent on grid electricity. Including a 10 kWh battery typically raises annual self-sufficiency to around 99%, with grid reliance dropping to 1%.

To get precise battery savings and payback figures, use the complete Photonik design platform.

Solar & Battery System Cost Mexico


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

A 6.6 kW solar system in Mexico costs approximately $130,186, while adding a 10 kWh battery increases the total to around $231,962. Solar-only systems typically pay for themselves in around 7.0 years, whilst adding battery storage usually extends payback whilst increasing energy independence.

Cost estimates cover equipment, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Modify the system size and battery storage sliders to explore different investment levels and payback periods.
