            Abstract : 
This paper presents a characterization of the solar resource behavior for ten cities of Colombia. This study was made from solar radiation and ambient temperature data collected by the Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales de Colombia IDEAM. According to the analyzes, we determined which of these ten cities are the best potential for developing solar energy projects.
