Blog
Solar energy blog
Analysis, context and practical advice on solar energy in Colombia, held to the same standard of transparency as the rest of the site.
In short
The NodoSolar blog analyses the solar energy market in Colombia with data and sources: how costs are evolving, regulatory changes (CREG, UPME), tax incentives and sector trends. Every article shows its publication date and is corrected when the regulation changes.
Solar energy in Colombia: the outlook in 2026
Falling costs, incentives still in force and a settled net metering framework make 2026 a good moment to assess solar energy in Colombia.
Read PracticalHow to tell whether your home is a good fit for solar energy
Not every roof is equally good for panels. These are the factors that determine whether your house will make good use of a solar installation.
Read MythsCommon myths about solar energy in Colombia
A lot of mistaken ideas circulate about solar energy. We go through the most common ones in Colombia and what the reality is.
ReadHow we write
Our editorial line
In a sector with plenty of promises and few verifiable numbers, these are the rules we hold ourselves to before publishing.
Every figure carries its source
Regulatory and market data are cited with the regulation or body behind them — CREG, UPME, Ley 1715 de 2014, Ley 2099 de 2021 — and not with a generic claim. If a figure cannot be backed up, it is not published.
Articles carry a visible date
The sector changes: a new resolution can make a correct article obsolete. That is why every piece shows its publication and last review date, and is corrected when the regulation changes rather than left to age.
No content is disguised advertising
We do not recommend module brands or specific installers inside the articles, and we do not accept payment for editorial mentions. When something has a downside, we say so.
Facts are kept distinct from estimates
A value taken from a regulation and an in-house estimate are not presented the same way. Ranges are declared as ranges, with the assumptions on show, so you can judge whether they apply to your case.
Beyond the blog
Where the rest of the content lives
The blog covers the landscape and current developments. The operational and comparative material lives in other sections.
Practical guides
Operational step-by-steps: how many panels you need, how to read your bill, how to compare quotes or how to legalize the system with the grid operator.
ExploreComparisons
Decisions weighed up with judgement: monocrystalline versus polycrystalline, with batteries or without, microinverters versus a central inverter.
ExploreGlossary
The terms that appear in any quote — kWp, AGPE, net metering, PSH, degradation — defined in a sentence and with their Colombian context.
ExploreReference prices
Investment ranges by system size, with the methodology and observation date declared, so you can tell whether a proposal is in line with the market.
