Colombia, located in South America, receives abundant solar irradiation with an average of 4.5 k W h / m 2 / d, which is above the world average of 3.9 k W h / m 2 / d. This average solar irradiation remains almost constant throughout the year, making Colombia an ideal place to implement solar photovoltaic projects (Abril et al., Citation 2021).

The goal of this study is to evaluate the COP of an intermittent ice-making solar adsorption system, considering the input conditions—ambient temperature and solar radiation—in six cities of varying altitudes and affected
Colombia is a country with a great diversity of scenarios in both climate and energy from the solar perspective. The cities are located in places ranging from almost desert, (Riohacha - Guajira)
This paper presents the building process of an interactive instrument called the Colombian Solar Atlas able to easily visualize meteorological data but also assess the current and future

Specifically for Colombia, country factsheet has been elaborated, including the information on solar resource and PV power potential country statistics, seasonal electricity generation variations, LCOE estimates and cross-correlation with the relevant socio-economic indicators.
Colombia''s climate is tropical with little variation in seasonal temperature due to the countries location near the equator. Temperatures vary mainly due to elevation, ranging from very hot at sea level and relatively cold at higher elevations.

The use of solar energy incident on vertical surfaces in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems is shown as an opportunity to contribute to achieve sustainable energy consumption in buildings in urban spaces.
The prospects for the implementation of photovoltaic solar energy systems in Colombia are favorable, especially from the point of view of access to natural resources, since the country is located between parallels 40ºN and 35ºS, which is delimited as the "Solar Belt or Belt Solar" with better conditions for the reception of radiation
The potential of solar energy at a global level in Colombia is 4.5 kW h/m 2 /day and the area with an optimal solar resource is the Península de la Guajira, with 6 kW h/m 2 /day of radiation, surpassing the world average of 3.9 kW h/m 2 /day.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the COP of an intermittent ice-making solar adsorption system, considering the input conditions—ambient temperature and solar radiation—in six cities of varying altitudes and affected by the El Niño and La Niña interannual climate variability phenomena.

In the referenced link , there is an interactive map of the radiation indices in Colombia by IDEAM.
In this sense, Serrano (2017b) carried out in Colombia an analysis of the use of solar energy for the future of the country as part of the general concern for the increase in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and that it can boost energy supply through renewable sources.
Taking into account that Colombia is mostly a desert area, what was presented above confirms the deficit of photovoltaic development in the ZNIs, that underutilize the solar resource and the great territorial extension. 4. Future picture of the solar energy
Despite this, Colombia has a uniform solar radiation potential throughout the year, calculated at 4.5 kWh/m 2, making it a potential alternative for generating electricity through photovoltaic systems.
Colombia is just beginning to venture into this type of technology for the use of solar energy and the increase in the electricity supply from photovoltaic systems will be slow, although in the medium term it will focus on solving connection problems electricity presented by rural communities.
Amazonas is the department with the largest area in Colombia (100.000 km 2 ); its population is below 100.000 inhabitants and has an average radiation of 3.5–4.0 kW h/m 2. It occupies the second position in solar photovoltaic installations and it currently has an installed capacity of 611.9 kWp.
