Is solar actually worth it when building here?

Short answer: For most homes, yes — the Riviera Maya gets over 300 sunny days a year, net metering
credits excess power against your bill, and solar is far more cost-effective when designed in during
construction than added later.
Why it matters: Solar is one of the easiest long-term operating-cost wins available here, but it’s
cheapest and most efficient when it’s part of the original design, not a retrofit.
What to check:
● Ask your builder to plan roof orientation and structure for solar from the design phase
● Confirm how net metering works with your specific utility connection
● Decide early whether you want batteries or a grid-tied-only system — it changes the design
Bottom line: Solar isn’t a maybe-later decision — the earlier it’s built into the design, the more it saves
you over the life of the home.
