This document summarizes information about solar cooling systems. It discusses how solar thermal energy can be used to power absorption or adsorption chillers for cooling. The key components of a solar cooling system are solar collectors, a storage tank, control unit, pipes and pumps, and a thermally driven chiller. Absorption chillers use solar heat instead of mechanical energy to provide cooling through a thermal compression process. Solar cooling systems have been installed for applications like wine store cooling and air conditioning of factories and hotels.
