The invention relates to a novel solar refrigerator comprising a refrigerator body, a solar photovoltaic power supply device, a direct-current
inverter compressor, a first condenser, a capillary tube, a first
evaporator, an adsorption
bed, a second condenser, a control valve, a
liquid storage tank and a second
evaporator, wherein the solar photovoltaic power supply device comprises a photovoltaic
cell and a controller; the photovoltaic
cell is covered with a spectrum selective composite layer formed by combining a selective reflecting film and a selective emitting film; the photovoltaic
cell and the adsorption
bed form a combined adsorption
bed. The novel solar refrigerator has the following advantages that photovoltaic-thermal comprehensive utilization is achieved by means of integration of a solar flat-plate
adsorption refrigeration system and a solar photovoltaic direct-current
refrigeration system, and the
refrigeration efficiency of the
adsorption refrigeration system is further improved by means of the
radiation refrigeration technology; in addition, high
photovoltaic power generation can be achieved by using a cheap
amorphous silicon photovoltaic cell, and the
overall efficiency of the solar refrigerator is remarkably improved.
