[RE-wrenches] Net Metering in Mexico

[Chad Waits]

Drake,

My Uncle lives in Guadalajara and has recently installed (4 months ago) a
grid-tied UPS system. He did purchase an Itron net meter from CFE and has
been selling power to them at retail ($.25 per kWh). He sent me a DIY guide
and interconnection agreement to easy the process for some of our Sonoran
customers. I could send it to you if you'd like. To my knowledge there was
no building permit or inspection, other than the a CFE rep.

Cheers

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Net Metering in Mexico

Hello Wrenches,

Mexico has recently allowed, at least theoretically, net metering.  Does
anyone know if anybody is actually net metering in Mexico?

If so, what all is involved with foreigners installing systems?  I know
that there is approximately a 30% additional equipment cost with duties
and taxes.  What about licensing, work permits or other legalities?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Drake
