Abstract
The intermittent nature of the solar energy supply makes the provision of adequate energy storage essential for the majority of practical applications. Thermal storage is needed for both low-temperature and high-temperature uses of solar energy. Thermal energy storage is a dynamic problem of considerable complexity. A storage technique has to be selected which is appropriate to both the temperature range of the collection equipment and the uses to be made of the collected energy.
