Abstract


Renewable energy system has received global attention recently. In an effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy has been deployed. Through photovoltaic systems, solar energy is utilized to generate electricity. In addition, it has been used in space heating and water heating in different applications. Those include, but are not limited to residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications. In order to increase system efficiency, Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be integrated to solar systems. The latent heat of PCMs contributes to higher storage density of the system. The current review paper provides detail on this integration. In addition, it highlights the challenges of such integration and the recent advances to overcome them. It provides a detailed analysis for the nano-PCM system as well. It discusses its positive influence on increasing overall thermal conductivity. This accelerates the charge and the discharge of the system. The review provides guidance to researchers working in the field of photovoltaic, and photovoltaic thermal systems efficiency enhancement.
