Free tool · C&I solar in Mexico

How does your solar site stack up against its neighbors?

Locate your site, enter how much it produced, and we'll tell you how it did against well-operated C&I sites near you, using actual weather. We compare against our database of more than 1,300 C&I sites in Mexico.

How the Solar Benchmark works

01

Locate your site

Paste your Google Maps coordinates, pick your state or click the map. Add your installed capacity in kWp, or we assume 500 kWp, a common size for C&I sites in Mexico.

02

See your expected energy

Get the energy a well-maintained site of that size should have produced on each of the last 7 days, using that day's actual weather at your location.

03

Compare or download

Enter your production for a period to see how your site ranks against nearby sites and what closing the gap is worth per year. Or download daily expected energy as a CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How is expected energy calculated?

We take each day's measured solar resource at the weather location nearest your site and scale it by how much well-operated C&I sites in our database actually produce for that resource. Multiplying by your installed capacity gives the energy your site should have produced that day.

Which sites do you compare my site against?

Sites in our database within 50 km of your location carry the most weight, and sites between 50 and 150 km carry less. Where there are only a few sites nearby, we blend in sites from neighboring regions.

What do well operated, average and underperforming mean?

They are three tiers of nearby sites, ranked by how much energy they produce relative to the weather. A well-operated site is in the top tier; comparing against it shows how much energy your site is leaving on the table.

Is the Solar Benchmark free?

Yes. Your expected energy appears without signing up. To download the data or see your comparison report, we only ask for your email.

Does it work outside Mexico?

Not yet. The benchmark is built on our database of C&I solar sites in Mexico, so your site needs to be located in Mexico.

Can I track my whole portfolio this way?

Yes. Popular Power connects to your monitoring and checks every inverter and string, every day, so you know what to fix first and what it is worth. See the platform.
