| Sumario: | The current environmental concerns, which are limited to the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, call for an energy transition. In this context, photovoltaic solar energy generates great expectations because it is conceived as a form of sustainable consumption. As the state is responsible for the construction of countless public buildings, which, as such, should be seen as a clear example, the introduction of these energies in public buildings will bring socio-environmental, economic, technical and educational benefits. Within the official sector, school buildings are pronounced for their social role in raising the awareness of present and future generations on the subject. Therefore, the present work aims to quantify the amount of energy that can be generated in a group of school buildings located in the city of San Juan, as a result of the application of solar photovoltaic technology. In order to determine the generation potential, the architectural and urban morphological characteristics of the case studies are analyzed and the Solar Calculator developed by the National Energy Secretariat is used. It is concluded that school buildings can be potential centers of clean energy generation in their urban environment.
