Abstract
This review investigates the use of solar energy for air conditioning, highlighting the advantages and limitations of using photovoltaic (PV) panels to power cooling systems. With the global increase in energy demands and the depletion of fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have become crucial. The review covers various solar-powered cooling technologies, including PV systems, solar thermal cooling, and adsorption/absorption chillers, demonstrating notable energy savings and reduced environmental impact. Optimizing system designs and utilizing intelligent control technologies can significantly enhance efficiency. The paper suggests that future research should aim at improving these systems’ performance and sustainability.
Keywords: Optimization efficiency, Solar-power, Air conditioning systems
