all i know you can use solar energy for :

1-instead of the boiler for absorption cycle .

 

2- instead of the electric power supply for normal DX Freon cycle (solar cells + batteries +...........................etc) .

 

 

in both cases you should save up to90% in sunny day and  70% in a cloudy day .

Significant energy and cost savings,

Solar energy offers numerous benefits for building owners as well as to the environment. Among the many reasons solar energy is a bright idea,

Solar energy systems allow you to capture free sunlight and convert it into usable power for your building.

Solar energy can be used to heat and cool your building, but has almost no impact on the global climate.

 

ASHRAE Green Standard189.1 requirements to be solar-ready

LEED® EAC2 On-Site Renewable Energy Credit

California’s2010 Green Building Standards Code (CAL Green)

 

Because solar energy systems reduce dependence on the electric power grid, substantial energy saving are achieved by lower demand and operating charges.

Building owners can also qualify for tax credits, rebates, government subsidies and grants which can reduce the initial cost of the system. Credits from utility companies can also be earned for energy that is sent back to the power grid.

The sun source commercial energy system can play a key role in reducing utility costs year-round. To enhance the economic attractiveness for solar energy systems, many state, federal and utility incentives and grants can help offset a large portion of the first cost, or even provide an on-going rebate.

The Sun Source system can help significantly reduce energy costs in all regions of North America. In certain regions, additional solar panels help achieve net-zero energy status, as the Sun Source system will generate more power than the rooftop unit consumes. In order to determine your level of savings, select your climate region, then, select your number of solar panels.

The Sun Source system can be installed on almost any size or shape roof without the stringent installation requirements of a traditional solar energy system. Sun Source can be expanded at any time with additional solar modules. Plus its modular design means that if one module is compromised, the other modules are not affected.

Unlike traditional solar power systems that require extensive and costly building modifications—as well as potential safety concerns from high voltages—the Sun Source system collects solar energy and feeds it directly into the enerence rooftop unit without modifying the building’s infrastructure.

Highest efficiency units in its class1 with up to18.0 SEER,21.5 IEER and13.9 EER,

Optional smart airflow system can save up to35% of annual ventilation energy consumption compared to traditional rooftop units,

Available MSAV supply fan provides year-round savings and comfort with reduced energy consumption, improved indoor air quality and code compliance,

Effective efficiency levels of34 SEER,43 IEER and beyond3 when the sun source commercial energy system is added,

Available in3-50 tons (gas/electric and electric/electric)

Exceeds ASHRAE90.1-2010 minimum standards by92%

ENERGY STAR® qualified

 

Available factory- or field-installed high-performance economizer meets title24 requirement.

- heating application

- heater for absorption chiller 

- photoelectric cell to obtain electrical power

- heating  Freon cycle in DX units by a solar heater which decrease the compressor and electrical power needed

 The some examples producers of solar HVAC systems

 

  1. used solar heating system is one which supplies hot water for domestic use.

  2. The solar heating system for a swimming pool can be used to extend the swimming season.

  3. To use solar energy more efficiently closed system water heating is employed..

  4. Electric resistance heating may be used to supplement solar heat.

    5 -The heat pump may also be used. An air conditioning system to remove    

        heat.

        6-used for cooling. This is usually done by using absorption system refrigeration.
