Abstract: This article reports the proposal for the use of towers solar (solar chimneys) in urban environments in order to take advantage of landfills, unpopulated or wild hills within or near cities, clearing landfills, artificial hills; considering that the solar tower can maintain the mechanical power of its wind turbine constant. To this end, a mathematical model has been developed to determine the collector area based on solar radiation and the mechanical power of the turbine. The present proposal has the potential that at a technical level there is the possibility of producing electrical energy, production of water intended to create/maintain green environments or for the population, hydrogen production, capture of atmospheric pollutants, measurement of air quality and elimination of cloud cover.
