The invention relates to a solar air-conditioner comprising a U-shaped heat pipe collector, a lithium bromide absorption-type refrigerating machine, a heat storage water tank, a cold storage water tank, a circulation pump, a cooling tower, an air-cooled coil pipe, an auxiliary oil-fired boiler and an automatic control system. The lithium bromide absorption-type refrigerating machine comprises a high-pressure generator, a low-pressure generator, an evaporator, an absorber, a cooling tower, a cooled heat exchanger, a concentrator and a generator pump. Lithium bromide-water separators are respectively arranged in the high-pressure generator and the low-pressure generator. Surfactants are added in refrigerant solution. The solar air-conditioner does not need to consume lots of energy and has low requirement on heat energy, can utilize various low-grade heat energy besides the solar heat sources, and has good electricity saving and energy saving effects and high economic efficiency. The cold capacity regulating range is wide. Along with the change of external load, the unit can carry out stepless regulation on the cooling capacity within the range from 10% to 100%, and during low load regulation, the heat efficiency hardly falls and the properties are stable; therefore, the solar air-conditioner can better adapt to the requirement of variable load.
