Developing the Australian Market
• Niche markets where “energy-only” economics are less important• Premium buildings requiring high star rating• Constrained electricity networks
• Reduce cost/ increase performance• High efficiency components• Volume production (off the shelf components)• Plug and play deployment (turn-key supply)• Plug and play deployment (turn-key supply)• Capture co-benefits/ dual function

The key components
Solar HeatCollection
Thermal Cooling Process
• Air collectors
• Flat plate collectors
• Absorption chillers• One stage• Two stage
Hot Cold
ManufacturingProduct development
• Evacuated tube collectors
• Tracking collectors
• Two stage
• Adsorption chillers
• Desiccant cooling• Solid• Liquid
• Ejectors
Noting: System integration with auxiliary equipment items (cooling towers, buffer tanks, heat exchangers etc) is very important

Where too from here
• Level playing field access to Renewable industry support (credits, capital, grants etc)
• Roadmap & pro-active industry vision
• Packaged & standardised products
• Industry capacity building
• Quality assurance
This requires increased co-ordination & collaboratio n

Conclusion
• There are compelling reasons for Australia to consider solar airconditioning (compared with other countries)
• Australia has one of the most installations (and the largest interest group (ausSCIG)) of any country in the world
• Australia has a large number of companies developing unique products with strong potential
• Australia needs to at least ensure a level playing field against other renewable technologies to enable this industry to flourish
• Funding is required to co-ordinate roadmapping, standards development, capacity building and quality assurance
