This study focuses on demonstrating the maturity of phase change materials and their integration into solar energy applications. Based on the findings, proposals for new research projects are made.
Due to the intermittent nature of solar radiation, phase change materials are excellent options for use in several types of solar energy systems. This overview of the relevant literature thoroughly discusses the applications of phase change materials, including solar collectors, solar stills, solar ponds, solar air heaters, and solar chimneys.
Phase change capsules (PCC) of paraffin wax are stacked over various sieve beds to create porous layers of heat storage in a new method of phase change heat storage for solar heating reported by Chen and Chen (2020) [ 103 ]. The flow of heated air in the system is propelled by the buoyancy force produced by the solar chimney.
