Performance of a small-capacity solar absorption cooling system was investigated experimentally. Ten sets of evacuative-tube solar-heat collectors and a 5 kW single-stage absorption cooler were combined to produce a hybrid cooling system. The performance of the cooling system was measured using a tim-coil unit installed in a small plastic storage. It was found from the test on a sunny day of May that when the temperature of the hot water supplied from the solar collectors to the generator of the absorption cooler reached $60^{circ}C$, the absorption cooler started cooling and the cold water temperature measured from the fan-coil unit reached $18^{circ}C$. The COP, which is defined as the ratio of the cooling power to the total electrical power input was higher than 1.0.
