Abstract

There has been an increased demand for use of cooling/refrigeration systems that make use of renewable energy sources and in particular solar thermal energy as a driving force due to its abundance and simplicity to harness. Solar powered cooling systems have been and continue to be utilized worldwide, for air conditioning in a range of applications and using different configurations, i.e., liquid and solid desiccant, absorption and adsorption, ejector and photovoltaic-compression cooling technologies. The specific benefits of solar-powered cooling have been highlighted through the review and comparison of the technologies in terms of solar coefficient of performance, capital cost, and life cycle cost.
