The installation of solar energy systems in homes has been growing in recent years, with the number of self producers registered with Eegsa going from 700 in 2014 to more than 1,500 up to April this year.
Figures from Empresa Eléctrica de Guatemala indicate that the majority of those registered as self producers are in the department of Guatemala, according to an explanation given to Prensalibre.com by Ricardo Méndez, commercial manager of the distributor.
It is estimated that in 2025 an average 1 MW ground mounted solar energy system will have an average cost of 73 cents per watt, 36% less than the current cost.
Advances in technology and growing experience in the manufacture of solar energy systems are contributing to the gradual reduction of their cost, giving them an advantage over other sources of power generation, such as fossil fuel.
A residential development and solar power generation plants are some of the projects for which environmental impact studies were submitted in April 2016.
