This study theoretically and experimentally examines the performance of an unglazed solar collector for cooling. It shows that such systems can provide a cooling capacity in the order of 50W/m2 and are able to cool to well below the ambient temperatures experienced during the cooling season. Finally it explores the contribution such a system could make to cooling loads in typical New Zealand and Australian buildings.© 2013 The Australian Solar Cooling Interest Group (ausSCIG).
