Thermal energy storage (AKA heat storage) covers all the different ways of storing energy, so it can be used for heating or hot water when it''s needed. For example, if you have solar panels for a lot of the time they might make more electricity than you can use in an average day. Storing this extra power for heating, is a brilliant way to
READ MOREFeasibility of domestic seasonal solar thermal storage in the UK was studied. • Useful solar heat and heating demand in dwellings in the UK were compared. • Critical collector area and storage capacity for 100% solar fraction was obtained. • Critical storage volume
