Abstract The purpose of my project is to create an economically efficient air conditioning system powered by direct solar energy for residential use. The system uses a solar collector to heat a refrigerant and using the absorption refrigeration cycle, create air conditioning. This system will be a new and innovative way to efficiently utilize solar energy for cooling small off-grid residences.
