When we think of hurricane season, we often picture rain, wind, and cloudy skies.But in places like Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit, hurricane season also means something else:

🌡️ extreme heat and humidity.

And you know what that means—air conditioners running nonstop, fans working overtime, and electricity bills spiking just when you need relief the most.

☀️ Is there still enough sunlight during rainy season?

Absolutely. More than you might think.Even with afternoon storms and cloudy periods, most days still have several hours of strong sunlight, especially in the mornings and early afternoons.

Modern solar panels continue to generate energy even with diffused light—when the sky is overcast but still bright.

So no, you don’t need a perfectly clear sky all day to benefit from solar.

⚡ High demand = high energy use = high costs

During this season, it's common to see a significant increase in your CFE electric bill, especially in homes, vacation rentals, hotels, and businesses using A/C systems around the clock.

That’s where solar energy becomes a powerful ally

With a well-designed solar system, you can:

Cut down your electric bill
Gain more control over your energy use
And stay cool without guilt or surprises

🛡️ What if a strong hurricane hits? Are solar panels safe?

Yes. A professionally installed solar system is built to withstand the coastal climate, including heavy rains and high winds.

At Connecta Sunlink, we use reinforced structures, certified materials, and tested installation methods—designed for our region.

Solar panels are safe, have no moving parts, and can be easily disconnected if a severe weather event is expected.

🧠 What most people don’t realize: summer is still solar season

Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean solar stops working.

In fact, summer remains a high-output season for solar energy, especially in hot, tropical areas like Bahía de Banderas.

The benefits show up in your savings, your efficiency, and most of all, in the peace of mind that comes from producing your own energy—even as the weather shifts.
