This document is the final report for activity B2 “Design guidelines” of the IEA SHC Task 65 “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt regions”. It presents the collection of design and system integration guidelines for solar cooling projects. For this purpose, a comprehensive questionnaire was created that goes into detail about various solar cooling components, design, sizing and other sub-systems such as heat rejection unit and cold distribution system. Data from 10 case studies are collected and presented showing the performance of solar cooling systems with varying boundary conditions. Additionally, three different case studies, each with their own scope and unique characteristics, are discussed.
