The uncontrolled use of non-renewable energy resources is of major concern in the world as once they are depleted it can not be replenished also the problem with use of non-renewable energy is by product generated from non-renewable energy production contribute to environmental damage and an increase in green house gas emissions . so nowadays researchers focus is on utilization of renewable energy sources like solar ,wind, tidal energy etc. one of the most abundantly available energy resource among all the natural resource is solar energy. solar energy plays vital role in domestic and industrial applications as it is freely and easily available source of energy. Solar water heating is one of the common applications of using solar energy around the world for both industrial and domestic purpose. But the core problem with solar water heaters is supply of hot water is possible only in day time from the storage tank. But pcm installed solar water heaters is solution to above stated problem. Phase change materials are used for storing the heat energy in the heaters to get efficient system pcm used in this systems are used as thermal energy storage( TES).the objective of this paper is to analysis of flat plate solar water heaters with and without phase change materials

Renewable energy, phase change materials (pcm), thermal energy storage (TES)
