If more and more solar energy is to be used for domestic and industrial applications then energy storage is very crucial. If no storage is used in solar energy systems then the major part of the energy demand will be met by the back-up or auxiliary energy and therefore the so called annual solar load fract]on will be very low. In case of solar

Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
Latent heat storage (LHS) systems associated with phase change materials (PCMs) and thermo-chemical storage, as well as cool thermal energy storage are also discussed. Finally, an abridged version

The term “thermal energy storage” refers to a method of transmitting heat and storing it in a suitable medium such as sensible or latent heat storage mediums. It's a technique for storing thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium for eventual use in heating, cooling, or power generation.
Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
