We design and install photovoltaic systems in La Paz and Baja California Sur for homes, businesses and properties looking to reduce grid consumption, add battery backup or solve energy needs in remote locations.
The number of panels is only one part of the design. We first define what you need to achieve: lower utility consumption, backup during outages, energy independence or a specific application such as water pumping.
A grid-tied photovoltaic system produces energy during the day to reduce the electricity your property needs from the utility grid. System size should begin with your consumption history and site conditions.
Solar for businesses →Solar panels alone do not guarantee electricity when the grid goes down. To support priority loads during an outage, we design hybrid systems with the appropriate inverter and battery storage.
Hybrid systems →When extending the utility grid is not practical, an off-grid system can combine photovoltaic generation, batteries and load management to operate independently.
Off-grid solar →For solar pumping, we start with the hydraulic requirement: flow, total head, distance and operating schedule before selecting the pump and photovoltaic array.
Solar pumping →State energy planning identifies areas of BCS with global horizontal irradiation above 5.5 kWh/m²/day, creating favorable conditions for photovoltaic generation. Actual output still depends on orientation, tilt, shading, temperature and the equipment used.
We review kWh consumption and historical usage before discussing the number of modules.
Orientation, shading, usable area, roof type and structural conditions all influence the design.
An oversized system may not be the best decision. We look for the right balance between production, consumption and project goals.
A useful quote requires more than a price per panel. Our process starts by understanding consumption, available space, important loads and your goals before selecting equipment.
CFE bill, tariff, usage history and consumption pattern.
Available area, shading, orientation, location and installation conditions.
Grid-tied, hybrid with batteries, off-grid or a specialized solar application.
Equipment, protection, project scope and recommended next steps.
The La Piedra project shows how a solar installation can go beyond placing modules on a roof: photovoltaic generation, a hybrid inverter, battery storage, protection and system configuration work together as one integrated energy system.
For electric generating facilities below 0.5 MW, CFE provides distributed generation arrangements including Net Metering, Net Billing and Total Energy Sale. The applicable arrangement depends on the project and the electricity supply contract.
According to CFE's published interconnection information, the contracting process is free of charge; if an evaluation of the General Distribution Networks is required, that evaluation may create a cost for the applicant.
Read solar and CFE frequently asked questions →These are some of the questions worth answering before deciding system size, inverter type or whether batteries belong in the project.
With your consumption, location and project goals, we can begin defining which type of solar system makes sense for your property in La Paz or elsewhere in Baja California Sur.
