Presentation to Italian Industry A/C player of latest R&D development on solar cooling

Seminar Chairman: Tim Selke, Subtask A leader, IEA SHC Task 53

Whereas renewable cooling and heating is more and more a hot topic in the World energy issues, a new generation of solar cooling and heating systems is appearing from labs and in the market. Consisting both in solar thermal or photovoltaic, the concepts are oriented to cost reduction and long term reliability. A new IEA Solar Heating and Cooling programme name Task 53 is exactly addressing this New generation and will present during this workshop the latest ongoing industry development on this topic.
