Resumen:
The following work analyzes the potential for solar photovoltaic technologies in the Mexican city of San Luis Potosí. The actual natural resources, legal framework and natural resources potential are linked to a common need of the city which is deficient water supply. This deficiency not only brings energy need but also health issues that need to be addressed. Recommendations of how the policy makers can support the introduction on solar PV technologies are given in the final discussion.
