Abstract

The sector of renewable energies is studied for the possibilities that offer to take care of the environmental and the energy conservation. In the production areas, it is need to understand some topics like the technological capacity and absorption capacity to identify the patterns of learning, specifically in the cases of small enterprises that belong to an incipient cluster, in a region with availability of solar energy resources, like Arequipa in the south-west of Peru. In this context it's developed this study for identify the technological capacity and learning aspects, for this solar enterprise cluster acting in that region. The methodology is the case study, through the application of a questionnaire - that was formulated according the theoretical base about this topic - to seven enterprises. The results of the research are useful to planning the local development through the application of tools as the technological surveillance and forecasting.
