EVERYTHING in Mexico is taxed 16%, but unlike in the US, the tax is included in the price of most things, like groceries and liquor.
Here's a link about using solar with CFE: https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/cfe-backs-off-on-legal-action/
Several of our neighbors have solar arrays and have significantly lowered their bills and sold power back to CFE.
The DAP on our bill last two month cycle was 49.04p. It's listed as a municipal tax and appears to vary in different municipalities. Interesting that it would be for streetlights because all of them in our area are solar.
Getting a second meter? Easy. CFE provided us with the Whatsap number and we were able to get approval in 2 days. Before they could arrive to install the second meter our electrician called "his guy" at CFE and they arrived in an hour and installed it. Another CFE guy arrived the next day to install it too, found the new one, and left.
Our electric lines are underground here with digital meters.
