Energy is essential for our preservation and the improvement of our life-style. Today all major production of energy is generated from fossil fuels, which are non-renewable and significantly pollute the environme. . This paper aims to provide an overview of the current situation of Mexico's energy. . According to the Energy Ministry of Mexico (SENER), in 2011, 92% of Mexico's energy came from fossil fuels, mainly oil (65%) and natural gas (23%),2 while just 7% was produced with re. . 3.1. Photovoltaic technologyPhotovoltaic technology converts light into electricity directly without gas emissions or noise. This conversion is originated in the solar cells, whic. . Mexico has an average solar radiation of 5 kWh/m2/day, and in some parts of the country it reaches 6 kWh/m2/day [17]. This is high compared to other countries; for instance, the ave. . Current domestic electricity costs in Mexico are divided into eight different levels according to the consumption, with the lowest consumption being 250 kWh/month; and the highest 2. [pdf]
Scenario 3 shows that by decreasing the prices of PV systems in Mexico by 50%, most consumers (excluding those with the lowest electricity tariff) will benefit from having a grid-connected PV system. This cost-saving scenario could attract a great number of investors creating an important PV market and industry in Mexico.
The specific productivity rate of the PV systems primarily depends on solar irradiation on-site, weather conditions, air contamination, the technology employed, correct engineering and plant maintenance. Based on data obtained, conclusions are drawn concerning preferences and performance of Mexican PV plants.
There is a large list of companies involved in PV in Germany: 23 inverter manufacturers, 67 companies with PV productions (wafer, cells and modules), 46 PV equipment manufacturers and there are additional manufacturers of materials for PV modules and system components.
There is no Mexican production of grid-connected PV inverters. There are several battery manufacturers and three manufacturers of charge controllers. The needs on DC switchgear for PV applications are covered with imported products.

Just as PV systems can be installed in small-to-medium-sized installations to serve residential and commercial buildings, so too can energy storage systems—often in the form of lithium-ion batteries.

Another interesting energy storage ETF is GRID, which is focused on alternative energy infrastructure companies such as power management company Eaton Corp. (ETN), industrial conglomerate Johnson Controls International PLC (JCI), and electronics and automation pioneer Abb Ltd. (ABB).
With rapidly falling solar PV and battery energy storage costs (U.S. Energy Storage Monitor: Q3 2018 Full Report, 2018, U.S. Energy Storage Monitor: Q3 2018 Full Report, 2018), there is a growing interest in using behind-the-meter, grid-connected solar PV and energy storage systems for energy and demand savings.
Solar-plus-storage shifts some of the solar system's output to evening and night hours and provides other grid benefits. NREL employs a variety of analysis approaches to understand the factors that influence solar-plus-storage deployment and how solar-plus-storage will affect energy systems.
This work focuses on the emerging market for distributed solar PV paired with battery energy storage (“solar-plus-storage”) in commercial buildings across the United States.
Where systems were found to be economical, expected lifetime savings averaged between 7%–10%, with savings of 30% in numerous cases. Near term markets exist for solar-plus-storage in locations such as California and New York.
This research found that retail rates were the strongest driver of PV economic viability, more so than load profile or solar resource. Some work has also been done to optimize the size and savings of storage-only systems.
