SOLAR-POWERED AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR DOMESTIC APPLICATION

The aim of the Solar- Powered Air-conditioning System's project is to harness solar radiation and use its energy to drive low power consuming air-conditioning system. Solar power was chosen because conventional domestic air-conditioner consumes high electricity, which is quite costly. The co...
