In view of depletion of the conventional energy resources like coal, petroleum etc., it is necessary to utilize renewable energy resources to meet the world energy demand. The objective of this project is to draw a picture about a promising solar cooling concept, based on the use of solar panel and to define the aspects that need to be considered in future development. The total energy emitted from the sun is around 5200 times that of the global energy requirement. According to International Institute of Refrigeration, air conditioning and refrigeration consumes around 15% of the total worldwide electricity and also contributes to the emission of CFCs, HCFCs, CO2 etc. Solar energy is typically used to heat water or generate electricity. This work is based on the Peltier effect with which we can cool a specific area without using compressor which take a huge consumption of electricity.
