Abstract: The solar cooling technologies applied in construction. There are three cooling technologies: absorption, adsorption and DEC –Desiccant Evaporative Cooling applied coupled with solar systems. What the stress is placed on are cooling systems of a high installed capacity of several hundred kW. Large scale solar cooling systems are not used in Poland. However, modern public buildings, especially offices with huge glazed facades very often require more energy for cooling than space heating. Solar cooling seems to be prospective technology to reduce energy consumption used by traditional air conditioning units. The development of renewable energy is on the rise worldwide because of the growing demand on energy, high oil prices, and concerns of environmental impacts. In recent years, progress on solarpowered air conditioning has increased as nowadays, air conditioning system is almost a must in every building if we want to have a good indoor comfort inside the building. Therefore, this type of system focuses in the design and construction of a direct current (DC) air conditioning system integrated with photovoltaic (PV) system which consists of PV panels, solar charger, inverter and batteries. The air conditioning system can be operated on solar and can be used in non-electrified areas. As we all known, solar energy is cost effective, renewable and environmentally friendly.
