How does net metering actually work in Mexico?

Short answer: Excess energy your solar panels generate is sent back to the grid and credited against
your electricity consumption — you’re not paid cash for it, but it directly reduces your bill.
Why it matters: Buyers coming from markets with different solar incentive structures sometimes
assume net metering here works the same way it does back home. Understanding the credit mechanism
helps you size a system realistically.
What to check:
● Ask your installer how net metering credits are applied on your specific utility account

● Confirm system sizing is based on your actual usage pattern, not just roof space available
● Ask whether credits roll over month to month or reset on a schedule
Bottom line: Net metering makes solar work well here without batteries for many homes — but
knowing exactly how the credit works helps you size the system correctly from the start.
