This paper represents a review of new solar based air conditioning techniques. These techniques used solar energy to produce cold or hot air and do not pollute the environment. Thermally driven cooling system is the key component of these systems. The use of solar powered air conditioning systems for heating and cooling requirements in the buildings would be more economical. Though various air conditioning systems run on solar power have been tested extensively, there have been very less focus on the use of solar powered air conditioning systems. Aim of this paper is to review the literature on emerging technologies for solar air conditioner and provide knowledge which will be helpful to initiate the study in order to investigate the influence of various parameters on the overall system performance
