N2 - In this paper, theoretical investigation of an integrated solar-powered cooling system consisting of commercial photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collectors and an adsorption chiller is performed. The performance is investigated under different climate conditions of the Middle East such as Alexandria in Egypt, Dubai in United Arab Emirates and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. System performance parameters including cooling capacities, chiller COP, solar COP, generated electric power and total system efficiency have been investigated. The results of the study for the month of July show that the maximum generated electric power is about 12.55 kW in Alexandria, while the maximum cooling capacity and COP are 8.1 kW and 0.43, respectively in Dubai. Furthermore, the average total system efficiency in a typical day in July is about 0.248, 0.288 and 0.275 in Alexandria, Dubai and Riyadh, respectively.
