This page brings together solutions from recent research—including hybrid nanofluid cooling systems, integrated phase change materials, passive heat pipe arrangements, and thermoelectric cooling modules with enhanced thermal interfaces.
The deployment of solar-based thermal cooling systems is limited to available solar radiation hours. The intermittent of solar energy creates a mismatch between cooling needs and available energy supply. Energy storage is, therefore, necessary to minimize the mismatch and achieve extended cooling coverage from solar-driven cooling systems.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is crucial for solar cooling systems as it allows for the storage of excess thermal energy generated during peak sunlight hours for later use when sunlight is not available, thereby extending the cooling coverage of solar-driven absorption chillers .
Solar-driven cooling systems are either assisted or stand-alone . Solar-assisted cooling systems are those that combine a traditional cooling system, like a vapor compression chiller, with an absorption chiller powered by solar energy to meet a building's cooling needs. These systems can operate in tandem or independently .
A solar-based cooling system uses solar energy, in the form of heat or electricity, to provide cooling for air conditioning and/or refrigeration. The energy from the sun is captured using solar photovoltaic (PV) and transformed into electricity to drive vapor compression AC systems.
However,none of these reviews have sufficiently documented the integration aspects of a thermal storage system in the solar cooling plant design, or covered the system control approaches required for managing charging and discharging of the thermal store in order to maximize cooling output and achieve robust operation.
Solar-assisted cooling system also refers to a cooling system partially driven by a particular fuel and assisted by solar heat. An example of such a configuration is an absorption chiller driven by natural gas and supported by solar heat from a solar collector [107, 108].

As one industry review notes that liquid-based cooling for EV batteries is the technology of choice, which is rapidly taking over from forced-air cooling, as energy and power densities increase. For instance, Tesla's battery packs circulate a 50/50 ethylene glycol–water mix to cool cells.
Liquid cooling systems are particularly valuable in high-performance EVs that demand high power output and extended ranges. These systems are commonly found in premium electric vehicles, electric SUVs, and long-range electric cars. By effectively managing battery temperatures, liquid cooling systems contribute to:
Air-cooled systems use ambient air flow – fans or natural convection – to carry heat away from the cells. They are simple and low-cost, since no coolant, plumbing or pumps are needed. Air cooling avoids leak hazards and extra weight of liquids. As a result, smaller or lower-power battery installations often rely on air-cooled designs.
Thus, in the context of grid-scale storage, liquid cooling allows very compact, high-density installations. It supports high C-rate (fast charge/discharge) for grid services like frequency regulation. It also enhances safety. For instance, liquid systems can rapidly quench developing hotspots and reduce fire risk.
By contrast, almost every modern BEV, such as Audi, Jaguar, BMW i and Kia/Hyundai, uses indirect liquid-cooling loops around the cells. While liquid cooling enables rapid charging, tight packaging, and high power output, also reducing degradation in hot conditions, air-cooled EV batteries are simpler and cheaper but sacrifice performance.
