In building applications involving solar thermal energy, excess energy may be stored for as little as an hour or as long as a season. Thermal energy can be stored using three main approaches: sensible , , latent , , and thermochemical energy storage , .
Thermal energy can be stored using different methods: sensible heat, latent heat and thermochemical energy storage , , . Sensible storage is the most common method of heat and cold storage. Here energy is stored by changing the temperature of a storage medium (such as water, air, oil, rock beds, bricks, concrete, or sand).
The solar thermal storage unit can also improve the equipment performance in terms of a smooth supply of energy with fluctuated solar energy collection as solar radiation varies throughout a day.
