%X his paper represents a detailed study and 
description of a new solar-based air-conditioning technique. 
It uses solar energy to produce cold or hot air. This 
technology can be used to reduce the energy consumption and 
environmental impact of mechanical cooling system. The use 
of Desiccant cooling is used to perform air dehumidification 
operation by utilizing low grade heat source. The solar 
desiccant air conditioner uses solar power as the main energy 
source to help in the thermodynamic heat transfer process as 
well as heat transfer principles to convert ambient air into 
cooling air. With our constructed design we have seen 
temperature as well as humidity level drops throughout the 
desiccant cooling system. A significant advantage of this 
system is, it have no moving parts consequently they are 
noiseless, non-corrosive, cheap to maintain, long lasting in 
addition to being environmentally friendly with zero ozone 
depletion as well as zero global warming potentials.
