Mexican Monterrey Energy Storage Photovoltaic Power Station

Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico (latitude: 25.6554, longitude: -100.3258) is a highly suitable location for solar power generation due to the substantial amount of energy that can be produced from installed solar panels throughout the year.

Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 25.6554, Longitude: -100.3258 (Monterrey, Mexico), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API: Average 6.98kWh/day in Summer.

So far, we have conducted calculations to evaluate the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential in 147 locations across Mexico. This analysis provides insights into each city/location's potential for harnessing solar energy through PV installations. Link: Solar PV potential in Mexico by location

Mexico ranks 18th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 7,040 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 3.20% of Mexico's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 28th in the world).

The Powin- Monterrey Microgrid – Battery Energy Storage System was developed by Plus Power. The project is owned by Arroyo Energy Investment Partners (100%). The key applications of the project are frequency & voltage regulation and spinning reserve services.

Solar energy has the ability to provide enormous amounts of energy in Mexico. 70 percent of the country receives more than 4.5 kWh/m2/day of solar radiation. With 15 percent efficient PVs, a square 25-kilo meter on every side in the Sonoran Desert or the state of Chihuahua can generate enough energy to completely fulfill the energy need of Mexico.
