Abstract

This article has a double objective. First, it delves into the reasons, which are apparently ignored today, to boost the generation of PV electricity in Mexico. Second, it suggests a research agenda associated with the generation of PV electricity in Mexico. The analysis highlights four main reasons why PV electricity generation should be promoted in Mexico: 1) taking advantage of Mexico's privileged solar irradiation; 2) taking advantage of the decreasing trend in the costs of PV technology; 3) it represents an alternative to satisfy the growing demand for electricity, and 4) it contributes to mitigating CO2 emissions associated with electricity generation. The present analysis suggests that, if it is desired to increase the participation of PV electricity generation in the national electricity generation, academic research should be carried out aimed at implementing public policies for this purpose.
