Introduction : a growing technology
Status of Solar Cooling :
• Technical feasibility : 100% proven
• Energy savings : very promising but need of quality increase (COPs, parasitic power demand, reliability)
• Economic competitiveness : in certain cases but not systematic
Introduction
Basic research: new materials and concepts Applied research: advanced components and machines with higher efficiency, more compact and at lower cost Demonstration and technology transfer: diverse measures in order to assure high quality in real-life application
Solar cooling is still needing intensive R&D actions…
Close R&D between Industry and R&D institutes

IEA SHC Task 48
Quality assurance measures for solar thermally driven heating and cooling systems
Main objectives
Develop and provide various measures which lead to highly reliable, durable and robust solar cooling (and heating) systems
Contribute to further cost reduction at all levels of the chain and identify most promising market areas in terms of cost competitiveness
Logic next step for a sustainable market development
4 Subtasks & 27 activities (40 experts from 8 countries) Time Schedule : 3,5 years (October 2011 - March 2015)
…BUT this must be relayed at EU level

Development objectives on the SRP
* Cost-competitive solar thermal air-conditioning and refrigeration systems to be available
* New absorption and adsorption chillers with improved performance to be used.
* Industrial refrigeration processes to be adapted to enhance the use of solar driven refrigeration systems.
* Solar thermal cooling systems components to be integrated into the building at the time of construction.
* Quality and reliability of solar cooling and refrigeration systems to be enhanced

Conclusion
If we want to meet this… solar cooling must deepen its R&D
Cooling will be a 2020 very important Challenge !
