The cost and availability of conventional energy sources currently used as inputs for agricultural production continue to be a very important concern in planning and decision making. Interest in solar energy for use in space and water heating, grain drying, and other areas, has been stimulated because it is technically feasible, abundant, renewable, and nonpolluting. Although it is reasonably reliable and can provide a large portion of the total heat need for many situations, it does require an auxiliary source of energy.

Change Material

Use solar energy as a complement of building heating energy, not only the building consumption will be reduced but also the air pollution problem during winter can be improved. However, the sparseness, discontinuity and instability of the solar energy are bottleneck of solar energy utilization technology. Thus the thermal storage technology becomes the most important part in solar energy system. Phase change thermal storage technology is more efficient then water, and it can charge the surplus solar energy for cloudy days to improve the utilization rate of solar energy. The performance of solar system can be improved by using phase change material storage technology. This review summarizes the previous study on phase change materials storage in solar energy application; the content of this paper can provide a reference for relative studies.
