This document is the final report for joint activities A2, “Adapted components”, and B1, “Show cases on system and component level” of the IEA SHC Task 65, “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt Regions. The first part of the report presents results from 32 investigated projects across 18 countries representing a range of 10 weather profiles such as the tropical wet and dry (Aw), hot desert (BWh), hot semi-arid (BSh), hot summer-Mediterranean (Csa), warmsummer Mediterranean (Csb), humid subtropic (Cfa), monsoon-influenced humid subtropical (Cwa), hot summer humid continental climate zones.

This document is the final report for activity B2 “Design guidelines” of the IEA SHC Task 65 “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt regions”. It presents the collection of design and system integration guidelines for solar cooling projects. For this purpose, a comprehensive questionnaire was created that goes into detail about various solar cooling components, design, sizing and other sub-systems such as heat rejection unit and cold distribution system. Data from 10 case studies are collected and presented showing the performance of solar cooling systems with varying boundary conditions. Additionally, three different case studies, each with their own scope and unique characteristics, are discussed.

This document is the final report on activity B5 "Lessons learned (technical and non-technical)." Within Subtask B, Activity B5 involved identifying and documenting lessons learned, both technical and non-technical, to create a summary for dissemination in Subtask D. The primary objective was to collect trustworthy data and gain valuable insights from various stakeholders. A survey was conducted to gather information on stakeholder’s requirements, expectations, and specific circumstances that may prompt the utilization of solar cooling. The survey's primary objective was to identify crucial factors influencing the adoption of solar cooling technologies across different applications and regions. The gathered information was then analyzed to better comprehend the challenges, needs, and desires of the stakeholders involved.
