Overview
This web site is the official web site of IEA SHC Task 38 "Solar
Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration" - a four-year task initiated by IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme Implementing Agreement.
Solar Cooling Position Paper
After ten years of numerous research, development and demonstration activities
in the field of Solar air-conditioning, in particular within the IEA Solar
Heating & Cooling Programme but also in many other national and European R&D
projects, the market penetration of SAC remains small. Therefore, it is
important to take a look at the achievements and the recent position of solar
cooling technology. It is also important to understand the future perspective of
this technology and formulate the needs related to both R&D and market
stimulation in order to exploit the potentials. This is also important in order
to understand the potential of solar heating and cooling technologies (SHC) to
contribute to the achievement of politically set targets in the reduction of
energy consumption. This paper describes the recent position of solar cooling
technology and develops an outlook about the potential and needed actions.
