Overview
- Registration opened Tuesday for Techos Solares para el Bienestar and is available online at techosolarbienestar.energia.gob.mx or in person at Secretaría de Bienestar modules in Hermosillo.
- State officials say the program will install free solar systems on 5,000 Hermosillo homes with backing from President Claudia Sheinbaum's federal government.
- The scheme prioritizes vulnerable households, naming families with children, older adults, mothers who head households, people with disabilities, and indigenous communities.
- Applicants must have a domestic electricity tariff, provide their service number, and show average consumption of 400 to 1,500 kWh in July–August to be eligible, but officials have not released a schedule for selection or installations.
- Authorities project bill reductions of up to 89 percent in summer and 49 percent in winter, a change that could lower living costs during Sonora's hottest months and expand local access to clean, distributed energy.
