SOLAIR
France: Support Scheme for up to 30 Solar Heating and Cooling Systems
One of the successful show cases of solar cooling applications in France: The vinery in Banyuls, in the south of France, where 130 m2 of vacuum tube collectors supply an absorption chiller with 52 kW cooling capacity since 1991.

SOLAIR: Survey of Available Technical Solutions and Successful Running Systems - Cross-Country Analysis
This paper compares existing databases of knowledge on the solar cooling applications from across Europe with SOLAIR’s own database. References are made to the SACE (Solar Air-Conditioning in Europe) project and the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) of the International Energy Agency.
According to the Report, previous databases concluded that 70 solar cooling installations were present in Europe in 2004 with the majority residing in Germany.
SOLAIR’s database had a different focus and therefore includes data such as:
- AEE Intec
- AIGUASOL
- Ambiente Italia
- Austria
- CRES
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Greek Centre for Renewable Energy Sources
- IEE
- Institute for Sustainable Technologies
- Intelligent Energy Europe
- Israel
- Italy
- Market
- Netherlands
- Politecnico di Milano
- Portugal
- RHEVA
- Serbia
- SOLAIR
- Solar Cooling
- Spain
- Turkey
- University of Ljubljana
