2. Solar electric refrigeration A solar electric refrigeration system consists mainly of photovoltaic panels and an electrical refrigeration device. Solar cells are basically semiconductors whose efficiency and cost vary widely depending on the material and the manufacturing methods they are made from.
Considering that cooling demand increases with the intensity of solar radiation, solar refrigeration has been considered as a logical solution. In the 1970s solar refrigeration received great interests when the world suffered from the oil crisis that had been initiated by Arab members of OPEC.
Solar adsorption refrigeration system works on the adsorption cooling principle and is one of the oldest and greenest method for producing the refrigeration effect. It is receiving more attention to lessen the environmental and energy issues created due to the chemical method of refrigeration.
The power consumption of solar-powered DC refrigeration was found to be 48 W compared to 60 W of AC refrigerators. To reduce the energy shortage due to higher air conditioning and refrigeration load, Xu et al. applied the ice thermal storage system in a solar photovoltaic operated air conditioning system.
Current solar absorption refrigeration technology is not likely to deliver much financial benefit. This was shown in Henning (2004) and Balaras et al. (2007), where the annual cost of a solar system was always higher than that of a conventional (electric compression) system.
Imagine a world where cooling solutions become eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and harness the power of the sun. That’s precisely what solar absorption refrigeration systems bring to the table, providing an alternative to traditional refrigeration methods.

Solar refrigeration options – a state-of-the-art review
Solar electric and thermo-mechanical systems appear to be more expensive than thermal sorption systems. Absorption and adsorption are comparable in terms of performance but adsorption chillers are more expensive and bulkier than absorption chillers. The total cost of a single-effect LiBr–water absorption system is estimated to be the lowest. 1.
