The increasing awareness of environmental issues has significantly influenced the refrigeration industry. As concerns over climate change and ozone depletion have grown, so too has the demand for more sustainable cooling solutions. Traditional refrigeration methods often rely on potent greenhouse gases, which not only contribute to global warming but also pose risks to the ozone layer. In response to these environmental challenges, researchers and manufacturers have sought alternatives that minimise harmful emissions while providing effective cooling.

This shift has led to the developme

e these systems to operate effectively during periods of low sunlight, ensuring a continuous refrigeration cycle. The ongoing research into hybrid systems demonstrates promising potential for improving performance and increasing the adoption of solar-powered refrigeration solutions globally.
