Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit from CFE to install home solar in BCS?

No CFE permit is required for a residential self-consumption system under 0.5 MW. You sign a CFE interconnection agreement and CFE installs a bidirectional meter. Some BCS municipalities may separately require a construction or equipment permit, which we handle for you.

How does net metering work with CFE?

A bidirectional meter measures the energy your panels send to the grid and the energy you draw from it. Your bill is the net difference, and surplus generation becomes a credit on your account under the terms of your CFE interconnection contract.

Costs, savings & financing

How long does a residential installation take?

A typical BCS home installation takes about 3–6 weeks, depending on location, system size, and the CFE interconnection timeline. We manage the scheduling and CFE coordination.

How many panels does my home need?

It depends on your actual electricity use, not your home's size — we start from your CFE bills and the loads you want to offset, then size the system to match. The biggest driver is your consumption and tariff bracket.

Can I add batteries to keep power during an outage?

Yes — a hybrid system pairs your panels with battery storage to keep critical loads running during a CFE outage. Mexico's distributed generation rules were updated in 2026 to formally cover storage and surplus-energy settlement.
