In these last few months, we have been exposed to information that would seem to cast a cloud over Mexico’s prospects of becoming a solar power. Uncertainty continues to reign on the home front via-a-vis the renewable energies market, while the coronavirus is threatening to incapacitate the global supply chain for photovoltaic equipment.Continue Reading

Many countries are already enjoying the benefits of the energy transition. According to recent figures published by REN21, in 2018 global investment in renewable energies was approximately three times that of investment in other sources of energy, accounting for 65% of total investment in power generation. In 2019, 43% of all the electricity consumed in...Continue Reading

In the not-too-distant future, the electric world will be powered by lithium ion batteries.Continue Reading

Mexico’s solar market is experiencing a boom, despite the new paradigms of the country’s energy sector. According to the Ministry of Energy, some 3.4 GW of new photovoltaic capacity is expected to come on line this year and this growth is likely to continue through to 2021.Continue Reading

There is only one country in the world whose borders fall entirely within the “solar belt”, that receives annual daily solar irradiation of between 4.4 and 6.3 kWh/m2 and that also boasts the world’s largest lithium deposit. That country is Mexico, whose geographical location alone puts it in a position to successfully make the first...Continue Reading

On January 5, 2020, the Earth reached perihelion, a term coined by the mathematician Johannes Kepler to describe the point at which our planet comes closest to the Sun on its annual orbit. This is the point at which the Earth’s orbital speed is fastest and it receives more sunlight than any other time of...Continue Reading

For decades, global demand for energy followed a predictable pattern, making it easier to anticipate user needs and match these with stable output, but things have changed with the large-scale incursion of photovoltaic and other forms of renewable energy.Continue Reading

A few days ago, Elon Musk, one of the global champions of photovoltaic energy, resuscitated the idea of meeting America’s energy needs by installing a huge solar park measuring 100 x100 miles in the desert of Arizona, Texas or Utah.Continue Reading
