1 What PV Solar Systems Do We Have
Solar energy harnesses sunlight to generate clean, renewable electricity using photovoltaic (PV) technology. Depending on how your power system connects to the electrical grid and energy storage, solar setups generally fall into three main categories:
1.1 On-Grid Systems
An On-Grid (or Grid-Tied) system connects your solar panels directly to the local electrical utility network by using an so called ongrid inverter.
During peak daylight hours, your solar panels supply power directly to your property. Any excess energy generated is fed back into the grid, often netting you credits with your utility provider. However, for safety reasons, standard on-grid systems automatically shut down during power outages to prevent feeding electricity into line repairs.
Important to know: An on-grid system does not generate electricity during power outages. Its main purpose is to lower your electric bill.
1.3 Off-Grid Systems
An Off-Grid system operates completely independent of the commercial power grid. Designed for remote locations or complete energy independence, off-grid installations rely on dedicated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to store power during the day and supply electricity throughout the night or on overcast days. Sizing an off-grid system requires precise engineering to handle peak loads and autonomy requirements.
Important to know: An off-grid system does not lower an existing utility bill. Instead, it provides reliable power where no public electrical grid exists or during extended power outages.
1.3 Hybrid Systems
A Hybrid system offers the ultimate versatility by combining grid connectivity with
local battery backup. You benefit from net metering and grid reliability while
storing excess energy in batteries. In the event of a blackout, the system
Important to know: A hybrid system gives you the best of both worlds: it lowers your electric bill and provides backup power during blackouts.
The Solar Advantage: Perfect Mexican Sun & Climat
Mexico stands out as one of the world’s premier locations for solar power generation due to two major geographic advantages
- Optimal Peak Sun Hours: High-irradiance regions across Mexico consistently receive between 5.0 and 6.5 Peak Sun Hours (kWh/m²/day). This exceptional solar window translates directly into higher kilowatt-hour yield per installed panel compared to European or North American averages.
- Ideal Operating Climate: While extreme heat can reduce solar panel efficiency, many high-altitude regions (such as the Bajío area) offer bright, direct sunlight combined with moderate ambient temperatures. This balance keeps photovoltaic panels working near peak performance year-round.
1.1.1 Callouts and Floating Tables
Callout boxes are ideal for drawing focus to contextual tips or important takeaways without interrupting section flow.

2.1 Configurable Centered Side-by-Side Media
Below are two framed items side-by-side and horizontally aligned at the top edge. The space between them is governed by the gap property on .wo-media-row. No body text flows into the gap or alongside the outer edges.
| Key | Data |
|---|---|
| X-Axis | 100 px |
| Y-Axis | 200 px |
Text resumes cleanly below the centered side-by-side layout block, maintaining clean margins across the page width.
2.2 Glossaries & Reference Lists
Below is an example of a structured definition list for technical terminology or references:
- Flexbox Layout
- A CSS module designed for aligning items in one dimension (either rows or columns) with dynamic sizing capabilities.
- Drop Cap
- A decorative initial letter at the start of a paragraph that is larger than the rest of the text, extending down through multiple lines.
