The electrostatic potential close to the surface of superconductors in the Meissner state is discussed. We show that beside the Bernoulli potential, the quasiparticle screening, and the thermodynamic contribution due to Rickayzen, there is a non-local contribution which is large for both type-I and weak type-II superconductors [1]. A generalization of the Budd-Vannimenus theorem is found which allows one to evaluate the observed potential without the explicit solution of the charge profile at the surface [2]. The electrostatic potential above the Abrikosov vortex lattice is evaluated numerically. We propose an experimental measurement by NMR [3] to access this field which can yield informations about material parameters.
