The Hermosillo municipal government has launched the Peso Solar program to promote green energy and sustainability through photovoltaic infrastructure. The initiative was inaugurated at the University of Sonora, where the installation of 56 solar panels is estimated to generate annual electricity savings of up to 246,000 pesos to support student development.

Following the university launch, the program has demonstrated significant impact at the Cruz Roja Mexicana Base Sur in Hermosillo. After the installation of 32 solar panels supported by DIF Hermosillo, the institution reported a 99% reduction in bimonthly electricity costs, dropping from 19,408 pesos to 193 pesos.
