Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save with solar panels in Cozumel?

With Cozumel's excellent sun exposure and high electricity rates, most homeowners save 70-95% on electricity bills. A typical 5kW system saves $2,500-4,000 MXN monthly. Systems usually pay for themselves in 5-8 years, then provide 20+ years of virtually free electricity. Vacation rentals see even faster ROI.

Will solar panels survive hurricanes?

Yes, when properly installed with hurricane-rated mounting systems. Quality installers use reinforced rails and anchoring designed for 250+ km/h winds. Panels are tested to withstand impacts. Some owners temporarily remove panels before major hurricanes for extra protection, though this is not typically necessary with proper installation.

Do I need batteries or can I use grid connection?

Most residential systems use grid connection (CFE interconexión) without batteries, saving $100,000-150,000 MXN. Excess solar power goes to the grid for credits. Batteries make sense if you experience frequent outages, want complete energy independence, or live in remote areas. Grid-connected systems are simpler and more economical.

How often do solar panels need maintenance?

Minimal maintenance is required. Clean panels every 2-3 months (salt spray and dust reduce efficiency). Annual professional inspection costs $1,000-2,000 MXN. Inverters may need replacement after 10-15 years ($25,000-45,000 MXN). Panels typically last 25-30 years with warranties. Overall, maintenance is much cheaper than electricity savings.

Can I install solar on my vacation rental property?

Absolutely. Solar is excellent for vacation rentals as it dramatically reduces operating costs while guests still use AC liberally. You can pass savings to guests via lower rates or increase profit margins. Many vacation rental owners report ROI in 4-6 years due to high energy usage. Remote monitoring apps let you track production from anywhere.
