Summary

Enormous refrigeration requirements exist in countries where electricity is not readily available, uncertain or with reduced power but where solar energy contributions are important. The energy required for refrigeration must be provided in an electromechanical or thermal form. Solar energy can also be converted into these two forms: electricity, usually using photovoltaic panels, commercial output= electric energy/solar energy= 10-12% (17% panels have been cited); low and average temperature heat, 20-150 °C, using standard flat collectors, the output strongly depends on the desired temperature. The problem with solar refrigeration is thus physically and technically founded.
