| Samenvatting: | Social backwardness and climate change are accelerating the incorporation of new social practices oriented towards socio-environmental relief. Green technologies offer multiple options to improve the quality of life of society with environmental empathy. In this sense, solar heaters have shown the ability to incorporate easily into social dynamics, as they demand little attention and provide various social, economic and environmental benefits. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the relevance of solar heaters in vulnerable homes in the municipalities of Pénjamo, Comonfort, Apaseo el Alto, Tierra Blanca y San Felipe in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, installed from 2012 to 2015. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, the social and economic contributions of the device are shown. The main finding is the highly significant relevance of solar heaters for their universal incorporation into vulnerable dwellings as a mechanism to face the challenges of sustainability in socially disadvantaged municipalities. |
