Mexico Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Analysis

Mexico Solar Photovoltaic Market size in terms of installed base in 2026 is estimated at 15.92 gigawatt, growing from 2025 value of 13.94 gigawatt with 2031 projections showing 30.9 gigawatt, growing at 14.18% CAGR over 2026-2031.

This growth continues despite a stricter regulatory framework that now reserves 54% of national generation for the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). Strong policy backing for 45% renewable electricity by 2030, falling hardware prices, and manufacturing nearshoring are driving capacity additions. State-led utility parks, such as the 457.211 MW Puerto Peñasco complex, headline new public investments, while private developers pivot toward distributed generation and joint-venture structures. Financing costs in pesos and interconnection delays do temper momentum, yet industrial demand in northern clusters and revived clean-energy auctions keep the expansion path intact.

Mexico Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Trends and Insights

Falling Module & BOS Prices

Global price declines in photovoltaic modules and balance-of-system hardware bolster project economics, especially in northern Mexico, where the resource profile yields high capacity factors. Trina Solar projects 20% growth in Latin American demand, while First Solar’s expanded US capacity lowers logistics costs for Mexican buyers. With 85% of Mexican territory receiving strong irradiation, parity is accelerating for commercial and industrial buyers .

Surge in C&I Net-Metering Rooftop Adoption

Distributed generation limits rose from 0.5 MW to 0.7 MW, spurring corporate rooftop rollouts. Residential interconnection contracts climbed to 367,207 in 2024, and Grupo Bachoco installed 26 MW across 19 states, producing 77,000 MWh annually.

Grid-Connection Queue Bottlenecks at CENACE

Over 5 GW of wind and solar remain stalled pending permits, with USD 10 billion in delayed outlays; Decree A/023/2025 suspends new applications until secondary rules are issued. Arbitration claims, such as Fotowatio’s 342 MW San Luis Potosí project, illustrate investor pushback.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Puerto Peñasco "Gigapark" Catalysing Northern Cluster Build-Outs
  2. Corporate PPAs from Near-Shoring Manufacturers
  3. 54% CFE Dispatch Cap Curbing Private Projects

Segment Analysis

On-grid systems dominate the market with a 95.05% market share in 2025, reflecting Mexico's centralized electricity infrastructure and utility-scale development priorities under CFE's expanded generation mandate. Off-Grid/Hybrid configurations are expected to accelerate at a 20.7% CAGR through 2026-2031, driven by the need for remote area electrification and industrial applications requiring energy independence from grid instabilities. The dramatic growth differential signals Mexico's energy access democratization, where distributed solar-plus-storage systems address rural electrification gaps while providing backup power solutions for commercial and industrial facilities experiencing grid reliability challenges.

Off-Grid/Hybrid momentum reflects Mexico's geographic diversity and infrastructure limitations, with remote mining operations, agricultural facilities, and rural communities increasingly adopting standalone solar systems enhanced by battery storage integration. The National Development Plan's emphasis on ensuring 99% population energy access by 2030 creates policy support for off-grid solutions in underserved regions where grid extension remains economically unfeasible. Hybrid systems that combine solar energy with diesel generators or battery storage offer operational flexibility, appealing to industrial users seeking energy security amid CENACE grid connection bottlenecks. The segment's acceleration also benefits from declining battery costs and improved energy management systems that enhance off-grid system reliability and economic viability for distributed applications.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
