The energy storage application plays a vital role in the utilization of the solar energy technologies. There are various types of the energy storage applications are available in the todays world. Phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable for various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy retaining, as solar radiation is sporadic. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar water heater. Even though the availability and cost of PCMs are complex and high, the PCMs are used in most solar energy methods due to their significant technical parameters improvisation. This review's detailed findings paved the way for future recommendations and methods for the investigators to carry work for further system developments.
储能应用在太阳能技术的利用中起着至关重要的作用。当今世界有各种各样的储能应用。相变材料（PCM）适用于各种太阳能系统，用于长时间保留热能，因为太阳辐射是间歇性的。这篇文献综述介绍了相变材料在太阳能热电厂、太阳能海水淡化、太阳能炊具、太阳能空气加热器和太阳能热水器中的应用。尽管相变材料的可得性和成本复杂且高昂，但由于其显著的技术参数改进，相变材料仍被用于大多数太阳能方法中。这篇综述的详细研究结果为未来的建议以及研究人员开展进一步系统开发工作的方法铺平了道路。
