Solar cooling is the use of solar thermal energy or solar electricity to power a cooling appliance.

There are five different approaches to solar cooling:

*absorption cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to vaporize the refrigerant;
*desiccant cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to regenerate (dry) the desiccant;
*vapor compression cooling, which can use solar thermal energy to operate a Rankine-cycle heat engine;
*evaporative coolers ("swamp" coolers);
*heat-pumps and air conditioners that can by powered by solar photovoltaic systems.
