This article explores one of the first institutional initiatives that promoted the study of solar energy in Peru: the Energy Institute, which remained in operation from 1962 to 1969. The institute was part of a state and academic effort to promote native industry and diversify the energy matrix, evaluating the potential of certain resources displaced over time by oil hegemony. The inclusion of non-conventional energies, mainly solar energy, and the subsequent development of university research allowed a critical advancement in the energetic field. The article analyses the development of solar energy projects through scarcely explored sources like the National University of Engineering’s newspaper repositories, newsletters, theses, research papers, institutional reports, and interviews with engineering, which were part of the institute.
