FAQs

It is a set of advanced technological components that takes advantage of the sun's energy to produce electrical energy for its safe use, whether domestic, commercial or industrial.

The basic components of a photovoltaic system are:

Solar panels Power inverter Batteries Battery Controller Thermal switches Cabling Support structure Internet link

Note: Not all photovoltaic systems are integrated by all the components since this will depend on what type of system is required according to the needs

There are mainly 2 types of photovoltaic systems depending on the type of components used divided between those that are connected to the local electrical grid and those that are not, denominating these as "Interconnected" or "Off-grid" respectively.

Not regularly for technical safety reasons but this can be prevented by installing a battery-backed equipment

Yes, it requires the selection of suitable components for this and it gives you the support in case the local network has a service outage

It is recommended to purchase batteries with your system in case you do not have or do not want a connection to the local grid (CFE) and you require energy during hours without sun. It is also recommended when even having connection to the local network, you need to have a backup to never run out of power since when your system is interconnected, in case the local network suspends its service for whatever the case, your system without batteries would cut off the power for safety regulation issues.

They are usually to supply moderate energy demands, in most cases in remote communities with no access to the local grid (CFE).

They are regularly integrated with batteries and in some cases without them, such as for daytime equipment such as irrigation pumps, etc.

It is very cheap if you consider that, depending on your current rate, it is like paying 1 to 4 years of energy in advance so you do not have to pay it again in the next 25 years.

Of course, it can be considered an important investment that will depend directly on the amount of electricity you require. In any case, you start receiving the benefits from the first month.

The waranty covers the function of the panels for 25 years but the real life of a panel of good quality is between 35 and 45 years depending on atmospheric conditions such as the intensity of solar radiation and salinity in the environment.

It is a very common question, however, we do not sell panels separately but turnkey systems that include calculation of needs, design, installation, procedures with CFE and all necessary components such as power inverter, structures, wiring, etc.

We invite you to contact us to request a personalized and specific quote to your needs.

It is a key and basic component for your system being this the central computer or brain of the system. This fulfills the functions of converting the energy coming from the panels into direct current (DC) and transforming it into alternating current (AC) where at the same time, for interconnected systems, it synchronizes it with the current coming from the CFE network into parameters such as voltage and frequency.

This will depend a lot on the inverter selected for your equipment, but a good quality one should last at least 10 years.

You can get a monthly savings of up to 99% of your current electricity cost depending on several factors such as:

• Current consumptions

• Current and residual rate with CFE (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural irrigation, etc.)

• Available spaces for installation.

• The capital you want to invest.

We invite you to contact us to give you an accurate analysis of your savings expectation.

If your interest is environmental, convenience is absolute in all cases.

If your interest is economic savings, the first thing you should consider is the current cost of your energy since currently some CFE rates have significant subsidies making them very competitive such as subsidized residential or 01, agricultural for water extraction or industrial among other. This can make the return on your investment be extended to many years reducing economic convenience.

It is very convenient for you if you are in a residential high consumption, commercial rate or if you pay more than $ 2,000 bimonthly pesos.

Also if your rate is residential with subsidy but you are about to install air conditioning or plan to increase your consumption considerably with some electronic equipment.

We recommend you send us your energy bill to receive advice, if you do not have it, do not worry, contact us to advise you and find the best option for you.

The equipment has different specific guarantees for each component, and the controlled panels have a 10-year factory defect guarantee as well as the 25-year power production where at the end of that time they require at least 80% of their capacity initial.

Inverters have 5 year warranties and can extend them to 10 years and the installation has a 2 year warranty.

This should be determined through an in-depth analysis where we must consider the geographical location of your property as well as your energy requirements which we can do by reviewing the history on your current energy bill with CFE.

Contact us to perform a calculation and define the best option to meet your needs.

Do not worry, although we will require a slightly more complex method where we must contemplate all the charges (electrical equipment) and calculate their use time as well as the amount of energy each consumes.

With our advice we can identify your needs as well as the system that suits you. Contact us to provide personalized advice.

Yes, because the equipment is modular you can increase the size and production capacity of your system at any time if the space and conditions of the system are adequate.

You can also reduce the size of your equipment if you decide, but for this you must consider the technical conditions of your power inverter to ensure its proper functioning. If feasible you can get to use your removed panels to integrate another system and use it in another building where you may have to complement it with the missing components for its installation and proper operation.

It is not recommended for new installations but in the extensions it is possible and it can become 100% functional with the proper advice, calculation and components.

We can install it anywhere, we are specialists in integral systems for any type of electricity consumption and based on your needs we offer you the best option for you to live and / or functions with solar energy.

We take advantage of the grid as a storage system to inject the surplus energy produced during the day by the photovoltaic solar system and be used at some other time or season, such as nights or winter with heaters or summer with air conditioners.

In this way and if you currently do not have problems of constant power outages or for long periods of time, we could avoid the use of batteries as a component of the system since they are expensive and would be the component that would require replacement in a shorter period of time. around 5 to 8 years old.

When we install your system, we will carry out a series of procedures with CFE where your current meter will be replaced by a bidirectional one that measures the current that enters as well as that which leaves your property. In this way, CFE will continue to send you its receipt periodically in which you can check your balance and identify how much energy you have accumulated.

This service with CFE has a cost that goes from $ 25 pesos per month and can increase depending on your rate (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) as well as if you exceed your energy consumption in relation to the production of your system.

Since your property is interconnected to the CFE network, if you require more energy from that produced by your system or stored as yours on the network, you will automatically be provided with CFE energy. You should consider that this additional energy will be charged to your receipt and you will have to pay it according to the corresponding rate of CFE or local supplier.

If this becomes constant, you can choose to expand your team by adding as many panels as you need.

As of January 2017, it is possible due to the new regulations, although there have been delays in the application of this scheme caused by disagreements between the sale and purchase prices of energy.

What we recommend is to stay in the old scheme that allows the net balance in kWh (Energy Units) since it is accounted for in an equal exchange of ONE TO ONE, this means that what you deliver is returned to you with the same value.

In the CFE charging scheme, the balance is made in pesos and different values are considered for the energy injected as well as for the energy extracted from the network. This must be well understood so that you find benefits since you must produce more energy than you actually use so that the surplus produced by your system and injected into the network generates enough credits to cover the cost of your consumption and thus generate additional income.

The system is reduced in its electricity generation although this continues to generate energy since the system works with direct sunlight and although the clouds reduce it, they do not block it completely.

In the same way you should not worry about this since we calculate the size of your system considering the annual weather conditions based on historical installation area with studies conducted by specialized agencies such as NASA among others.

This will depend on the type of equipment you have chosen since for regulation and protection reasons, your system when detecting increases or decreases outside the parameters considered normal automatically disconnects your system from the network, ensuring the integrity of your equipment as well as that of the network and there is no energy exchange. So if your system has battery backup at that time it will come into operation and you will start to have only internal energy exchange and if your system does not have this backup then you will notice a cut in the power supply of the equipment and you will depend only on what the network will deliver you, and it may even be a total power outage.

The cut between the solar equipment and the grid is due to the fact that having a fault in the grid it could have compromised some wiring or equipment, endangering people or other electrical equipment and in turn requires a power cut for its repair necessary to ensure the integrity of the work team.

It is not recommended since specialized technical knowledge is required as well as the legal registration of the system.

We deliver you a 100% installed and tested installed system.

We also include the legal procedures before the CFE and interconnection contract. The CFE will be in charge of changing the meter to be able to turn on the equipment and immediately start receiving the benefits.

This will depend on the size and complexity of the area but regularly a residential or commercial installation does not take more than 3 days to complete although for the powering up of the system it takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks due to administrative processes in CFE and the procedures that must be perform for registration, interconnection and finally the change of meter.

The maintenance of the equipment is basically to clean the dust or dirt of the panels with a rag and water without solvents or abrasives.

Inspection of connections and wiring sporadically is also recommended.

No, although it produces high voltage, we take care of leaving everything well protected with special terminals that perfectly isolate the connections, however, its installation is recommended where children do not have access so that they do not introduce conductive materials into the various components or connections.

Yes, according to article 34 section XIII of the ISR Law that says:

Deduction to "100% for machinery and equipment for the generation of energy from renewable sources or efficient electricity cogeneration systems".

This means that for Moral and Physical Persons with a tax obligation of ISR, within the first fiscal year (first year) they obtain an additional recovery that can be up to 38% of the total cost of the system, this will be according to your declared amount of profits and the tax tab.

If the payment is made with bank financing, the deduction will be applied according to the payments made each year within the contracted term.

We develop projects mainly in the west of Mexico, covering the metropolitan area of Guadalajara and neighboring towns, as well as the coasts of Jalisco, Colima and Michoacán.

We also develop projects in the Riviera Maya area, installing solar energy in Tulum, Playa del Carmen, as well as in neighboring towns and cities.

For the rest of the country, we value each project with the intention of offering economically viable options to our clients.
