Cruz Roja Mexicana Peso Solar Hermosillo solar energy DIF Hermosillo

The Cruz Roja Mexicana Base Sur in Hermosillo, Sonora, has achieved a 99% reduction in electricity costs following the installation of 32 solar panels. This initiative is part of the Peso Solar program, which is promoted by the Hermosillo municipal government through the DIF Hermosillo.

According to municipal reports, the institution's bimonthly electricity bill dropped from 19,408 pesos during the August to October 2025 period to just 193 pesos during the same months in 2026. Daniel Bon Camou, president of the Cruz Roja Mexicana Hermosillo delegation, noted that the DIF has supported the South Base with solar panel installations for two consecutive years.

The savings are expected to be redirected toward emergency services and community aid. The Hermosillo Cruz Roja currently operates with over 170 volunteers, providing approximately 80 daily transport services and between 2,000 and 2,500 monthly supports to families, alongside specialized urban rescue and vehicle extraction units.
