Geometric blackness is the principle of trapping light with shape rather than pigment: angled cavities catch incoming light in repeated reflections so a surface absorbs almost ever…

Solar-driven adsorption cooling — the load-coincident application where sunlight supplies the desorption heat. Spans intermittent single-bed solar ice makers (the collector IS the …

Answers 'is there a better option for solar thermal cooling?' For most applications, yes: PV + electric heat-pump/vapor-compression now out-competes solar-thermal sorption cooling,…

Solar thermal is the heat supply for sun-driven cooling, delivering desorption heat to an adsorption chiller with the key virtue of coincidence between peak insolation and peak coo…
