Solar Cooling - An Overview of European Applications

Solar air conditioning is an emerging market with a huge growth potential. Peak cooling demand in summer is associated with high availability of solar radiation, which offers an excellent opportunity to exploit solar energy with heat-driven cooling machines. The main obstacles for large-scale applications, besides high first cost, are the lack of practical experience with the design, control, operation, installation and maintenance of these systems.
