A solar thermal chiller is fairly costly and is very hard to justify.
For a more reasonable cost, we also offer 12000 BTU solar AC units for all-DC (off-grid) use as well as AC-DC hybrid units for grid-tied solar air conditioning.
If a chiller air conditioner is what you need, and are looking for a cost effective solution, check out the small reverse cycle chiller (hydronic heat pump for heating and cooling with ultra high efficiency) from Chiltrix Inc. This is a small commercial / residential chiller, it is a modular chiller and can be configured is sizes as small as 2 tons, and up to 4,6,8 tons etc.
Following is a logical topology showing the basic components of a solar air conditioning / solar heating system using a Yazaki absorption chiller with evacuated tube solar field. Final configurations are custom designed per application and not all systems will use the same components or layout.
