Abstract
This article proposes a strategy for social appropriation of solar technology through a workshop called "Energize my business" which was based on educational design research. The workshop was based on the assumption that appropriation implies both obtaining solar technology equipment and training in energy literacy. The goal was to enable the beneficiaries to self-identify their energy demand and solar solutions as a way to empower their businesses. The sample was a group of three women between 48 and 53 years of age with businesses: tamalería, fonda and handicrafts in soaps and candles. The workshop followed 4MAT's instructional design.
