This paper briefly reviews recently published studies between 2016 and 2023 that utilized phase change materials as thermal energy storage in different solar energy systems by collecting more than 74 examples from the open literature. . Investigations into the use of phase change materials in solar applications for the purpose of storing thermal energy are still being carried out to upgrade the overall performance. Superior thermal characteristics of innovative materials, like phase change materials, are basically needed to maximize solar energy usage and to increase the energy and exergy eficiency of the solar. . This article designs a high-altitude border guard post that can fully utilize the heat absorbed by solar collectors to continuously store thermal energy during the day and stably release heat at night. This device is a spherical encapsulated paraffin phase change heat exchanger device (stainless. .
