Novel approaches and recent developments on potential applications of phase change materials in solar energy
A.K. Pandey,Md. Sazzad Hossain,V.V. Tyagi,Nasrudin Abd Rahim,Nasrudin Abd Rahim,Jeyraj A,L. Selvaraj,Ahmet Sarı +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, phase change materials (PCMs) can be applied to several different solar energy systems for the extended heat energy storage which is quite useful as the solar energy is intermittent in nature and is unavailable during the night period.
