Solar photovoltaic installations

Yes, it took CFE several weeks before they installed the new meter, but since then, the system has worked well. Previously, my CFE bills were in the range of M$5xxx.

Now, most billing periods my bill is M$69. I assume that is a fee for being hooked up to the CFE grid. I did have one billing period in which the bill was M$3xxx. That was because the CFE meter wasn’t working properly. The solar panels and system were working properly, so CFE was taking my electricity but not crediting me for it. Sigh. They replaced the meter after that happened.

My system is Ginlong and was installed by Alejandro Gafford of Solener of Guadalajara. I think they are no longer doing work in the Zihuatanejo area. The Ginlong website permits me to check the live and historical power and energy records.

I am having a carriage house built on my property this year, so my electricity consumption will increase. I will need to have more PV solar panels added to my system, but I didn’t know how much more I will need.

I don’t want to “overbuild”, so I’m guessing I will need to wait a year or so to determine my new electricity needs before having someone add to my solar panel array.
