Concentrated solar power (CSP) works in a similar way to solar hot water in that it transforms sunlight into heat—but it doesn''t stop there. CSP technology concentrates the solar thermal energy using mirrors and turns it into electricity. At a CSP installation, mirrors reflect the sun to a focal point. At this focal point is an absorber or receiver that collects and stores heat

Seasonal solar thermal storage using PCMs as the thermal storage medium is usually done in two ways. One is to store the PCMs directly in the thermal storage unit, similar to the seasonal thermal energy storage of sensible heat, i.e., the direct-type. One is to use the supercooling of the PCMs for thermal storage, i.e., the supercooling-type.
Solar energy storage has been an active research area among the various solar energy applications over the past few decades. As an important technology for solving the time-discrepancy problem of solar energy utilisation, seasonal/long-term storage is a challenging key technology for space heating and can significantly increase the solar fraction.
After that, it goes back to the solar collector. During winter operation, the storage tank extracts the energy from the PCMs stored in the storage tank and then flows to the evaporator of the heat pump unit to provide a heat source for space heating.
