This document provides information about generating renewable solar energy. It discusses how solar energy works and the benefits of generating your own solar power, including lower electricity bills. It describes the necessary equipment for a solar system, including solar panels, wind turbines, charge controllers, inverters, and batteries. It also discusses service packages for system maintenance and the guarantees for different system components. The document explains that generating solar power is legal in Mexico through an interconnection agreement with CFE and describes how a two-way "bidirectional" contract and metering works.

1. Renewable Energy → A friendly
alternative to our planet.

2. MY FAMILY IS MY ENERGY

3. What is SunCoast (renewable
energy)?
We are a company that puts in your
hand the technology to generate your
own solar, and hybrid renewable
electric energy.

4. THE EARTH
1978 2012
WE ARE DESTROYING OUR PLANET.

5. Why generate my own solar power?
Thanks to the geographical coordinates:
21 ° 36 'N, 19 ° 32' south (north), 87 ° 32
'east, 90 ° 25' west (W)
Yucatan is in a privileged position to use
solar energy, because it receives
approximately 2007 hours of sunshine
per year.

6. Why generate my own solar power?
1 The sun has shone in the sky for about five billion years. (and it is estimated that has
not reached even half of it´s life)
2 During this year, the sun shed on to the earth four thousand times more energy than
we will consume.
3 Solar energy can be connected to the CFE grid (to avoid the need for large and
expensive systems of accumulation ie batteries)
4 The electricity bill would be only a
fraction of it would be, without the
existence of the solar system.

7. How does the system work?

8. Required equipment.

11. Generate my own electricity is legal in
Mexico?
It is legal in Mexico with the
"Interconnection Agreement for
renewable energy sources or
cogeneration systems, in small and
medium scale application" (Bidirectional
contract) of the Federal Electricity
Commission (CFE).

12. CFE currently recorded their
consumption of electrical energy
with meters that only integrate the
energy you get from their network.
To establish an interconnection
agreement, CFE will change the
meter, installing a new one that will
allow electric power to flow in both
directions metering current
entering your home, and electricity
going out

13. What is the two-way contract?

14. What is the two-way contract?
Bidirectional meter
Renewable Electric National System
Energy (SEN)
Source
Customer loads

15. Bidirectional contract.
CFE will credit your normal contract, the
difference between both loads, in one of
these three cases.
a) if the difference is bigger than zero, it means
that you consume more energy than you
generated, so CFE will bill that difference.

16. Bidirectional contract.
b) If the difference is equal to zero, it
means that you consumed the same
amount of energy than that you
produced, so CFE will bill the minimal
amount according your normal contract
Approximately. $52 Pesos MN.

17. Bidirectional contract.
c) if the differences is less than zero, it means
that you produced more energy than you used,
so CFE:
A. CFE will bill the minimal amount according
your normal contract and:
B. CFE will credit you the energy that was in
your favor, and automatically subtract the
surplus from the following months billing
period.
