Abstract
This review shows that Coefficient of Performance (COP) for solar cooling systems is in the range of 0.1-0.91 while the thermal collector efficiencies are in the range of 0.06-0.64. The average area to produce cooling for single effect absorption chillers for experimental and computational projects is 4.95Â m2/kWc and 5.61Â m2/kWc respectively. The specific area for flat plat collector (FPC) is in the range of 2.18-9.4Â m2/kWc, while for evacuated tube collector (ETC) is in the range of 1.27-12.5Â m2/kWc. For concentrated photovoltaic thermal collector (CPVT) and PVT, the average area to produce cooling for solar absorption chillers are 2.72Â m2/kWc and 3.1Â m2/kWc respectively.
