The physics & engineering of continuous-cycle absorption heat pumps

is fascinating stuff.

Calculation suggests that intermittent-cycle refrigeration is potentially

more efficient, or at least a better fit for PV power - CC is cheaper to

fab, though, which is probably why you don't see IC these days; I'm

suggesting that a PV + IC system that does'nt need a battery would

offset the extra expense of IC, with considerably improved reliability.

Batteries, as noted elsewhere, are expensive and trouble-prone...
