Sun Dryers & PCM

Phase Change Material for Solar Energy Usages and Storage
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that can be utilized for different applications in today’s world. The effective use of solar energy requires a storage medium that can facilitate the storage of excess energy, and then supply this stored energy when it is needed. An effective method of storing thermal energy from solar is through the use of phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs are isothermal in nature, and thus offer higher density energy storage and the ability to operate in a variable range of temperature conditions.
Social awareness, along with the technological development of solar stills can significantly motivate people to use PCM-based energy storage systems.
