Abstract

The merger of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and renewable energy technologies is changing the face of the sustainable cooling technology space. Among the technologies being developed in this space include DC Solar Air Coolers that are air cooling technologies that utilize Direct Current (DC) electricity that can be produced using Solar PV Panels. Solar Air Coolers are experiencing setbacks in terms of energy efficiency techniques and adaptability to environmental variability. There are also setbacks concerning maintenance and operation. The adoption of AI technologies has presented an opportunity for the development of DC Solar Air Coolers that are adaptable and fit for sustainable and efficient cooling.
