Israel has one of the highest air conditioning users in the world, With over 280 days of sun per year, and air conditioning of public building of over 300 days per year. In light of the experience gained over the years with water heating solar systems, it will be wise to check the technological and economical feasibility of the solar energy use for air conditioning systems. A success in this area can lead to a substantial reduction of energy costs for the end user and a wide implementation of this technology can reduce Israel’s dependence on fuel import and suspend the need for new power stations.
