In this work, an analysis of the potential of the city of Pamplona to produce solar thermal
energy was carried out, according to the solar radiation received. As a result, for each
residential, industrial, or service rooftop, information was provided on (1) the area available for
thermal installation, (2) the solar thermal installation capacity and (3) the monthly and annual
thermal energy generation potential. It was found that, if all suitable areas of the city are used, it
would be possible to achieve an annual total solar thermal energy production of 1197.69 GWh.
If solar energy supply and thermal demand were perfectly coupled over time, it would be
possible to cover 99.1% of Pamplona's thermal energy demand.
