Is there solar air conditioning in Southern Europe

4 FAQs about Is there solar air conditioning in Southern Europe

What is solar air conditioning?

Solar air conditioning, or "solar-powered air conditioning", refers to any air conditioning (cooling) system that uses solar power. This can be done through passive solar design, solar thermal energy conversion, and photovoltaic conversion (sunlight to electricity).

What is SACE (solar air conditioning in Europe)?

The SACE (Solar Air Conditioning in Europe) project was initiated in early 2002 and conducted over the next 2 years by a group of researchers from five countries, supported by the European Commission.

Does solar air conditioning save energy?

Conclusions Solar air conditioning has a strong potential for significant primary energy savings. In particular, for southern European and Mediterranean areas, solar assisted cooling systems can lead to primary energy savings in the range of 40–50%. Related cost of saved primary energy lies at about 0.07 €/kW h for the most promising conditions.

Are solar cooling systems economically feasible?

Tsoutsos et al. present a study of the economic feasibility of solar cooling technologies. Karagiorgas et al. investigated the application of renewable technologies in the European tourism industry and identified a large number of solar thermal systems but only a few solar cooling systems.
