The advancement of renewable solar energy has led to the emergence of phase change materials (PCMs) as thermal energy storage. Besides acting as a heat storage material, PCM is able to absorb excess heat that enables the reduction of operating temperature of a solar system. Organic PCM (i.e. fatty a...
