Technical FAQs 4

Do solar-based thermal cooling systems need energy storage?

The deployment of solar-based thermal cooling systems is limited to available solar radiation hours. The intermittent of solar energy creates a mismatch between cooling needs and available energy supply. Energy storage is, therefore, necessary to minimize the mismatch and achieve extended cooling coverage from solar-driven cooling systems.

What is a solar thermal refrigeration system?

A typical solar thermal refrigeration system consists of four basic components - a solar collector array, a thermal storage tank, a thermal refrigeration unit and a heat exchange system to transfer energy between components and the refrigerated space. Selection of the solar array depends upon the temperature needed for refrigeration system.

What is solar cooling?

Solar cooling refers to various cooling techniques powered by solar collector–based thermally driven cycles and PV-based electrical cooling systems. Because solar energy is time-dependent, the successful utilization of these systems relies heavily on the thermal storage units used.

Why is thermal energy storage important for solar cooling systems?

Thermal energy storage (TES) is crucial for solar cooling systems as it allows for the storage of excess thermal energy generated during peak sunlight hours for later use when sunlight is not available, thereby extending the cooling coverage of solar-driven absorption chillers .
