Mexico Achieves 5 Gigawatts of Distributed Solar Power Capacity
Mexico has reached a significant milestone in renewable energy by achieving 5.165 gigawatts of distributed solar power capacity by the end of 2025. This achievement comes from over 600,000 installations across the country, with the majority being small-scale solar systems. The western state of Jalisco leads in installations, contributing significantly to the national capacity. The growth in distributed solar power is largely driven by net metering policies, which allow solar power system owners to sell excess electricity back to the grid. This policy has been instrumental in encouraging the adoption of solar energy across Mexico.
