Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun's energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Interest in utilizing solar-driven ejector refrigeration systems for airconditioning or refrigeration purposes has grown continuously. Solar cooling is comprised of many attractive features and is one path towards a more sustainable energy system. Compared to solar heating, the cooling load, particularly for air-conditioning applications, is generally in phase with solar radiation.
