Abstract

This paper aims to identify specific policies that promote the participation of installed PV capacity in Mexico's energy basket. We apply a benchmarking analysis, which provides a comparative perspective between Mexico and the countries with the highest installed PV capacity in the world. The analysis suggests that, in order to boost the participation of installed PV capacity, a long-term planning of the Mexican PV industry should be carried out, with Smart Electric Grids as the leading principle, focusing on PV electricity. In such plan, the starting point should consist of implementing four policies: a) capital subsidy, concession or rebate; b) tax credit for investment or production; c) public investment, and; d) the promotion of research and development of PV technology.
