Run compressor using solar thermal.
I think concentrating solar and running compressor using that heat directly will save lot of energy for refrigerator and air conditioning. What you have to say?

Re: Run compressor using solar thermal.
Good luck with that! If it was cost effective, it would be a mainstream alternative already.

Re: Run compressor using solar thermal.
It would have to be an absorption system, not a compressor. You could run an automotive compressor from a steam engine, but you'll be better off with PV for small systems.
