“…31,32 The PV Trombe wall ( Figure 2F) incorporates solar cells to classical Trombe walls. [33][34][35][36] Another innovative Trombe wall approach is filling the masonry wall with PCMs to store latent heat. The phase change units require less space for a given amount of heat storage and are lighter in weight compared with the mass wall.…”

Solar energy utilization for covering the heating loads of buildings is an innovative and clean way to reduce electricity consumption. A Trombe wall is a classical passive solar heating system used in buildings. Increasing the weights and volumes of Trombe walls can increase their heat storage capacities. However, this process increases a building's dead load, which is considered a problem by structural engineers. Among the alternatives for solving this problem is to use phase change materials (PCMs) for higher heat storage. This work presents a comprehensive review on the different advantages of integrating PCMs with Trombe walls. The article shows that the satisfactory heat storage capacity of PCMs can improve indoor air thermal circulation and decrease indoor air temperature fluctuations. In addition, the effectiveness of PCMs in providing protection from overheating, and improving the efficiency of the energy management process and energy saving of Trombe walls is demonstrated.

“…Today mankind is facing the problem of severe shortage of power supply as a result of current consumption rate and low conventional energy reserves [1,2]. Increased human activity has led to increased energy consumption and reduced conventional fuel reserves to dangerous levels, leading to the high price of world oil [3]. Scientists and researchers have begun to look for new sources of energy to replace conventional sources and replace it with a clean and environmentally friendly option [4].…”

Management of energy consumption for building's air conditioning is a vital issue for resource saving and environmental protection. The use of solar energy to generate electricity by solar cells is essential nowadays. However, the disadvantage of solar panels is the elevated temperature in work, especially in the hot sunny climate that leads to efficiency decline. Also, there is a problem with heating during the night and cloudy days. For the last 20 years, there has been a rapid development in the field of integrated solar technologies. A hybrid PV/Trombe wall (PV/ TW) system suggested being an efficient and durable conversion system of solar energy. The design of the PV/TW system considered one of the focusing areas of the present research to make it more economically feasible. The idea of building the photovoltaic-Trombe wall has appeared as one of the green technologies. Several published works at that time are included for integrating PV/TW system. This chapter devoted to reviewing the theoretical and practical studies conducted on this system for developing and improving electrical and thermal performance.

“…To minimize the cost of the solar heater, scientists have developed another design for solar heaters that merges the three main parts of conventional heaters into one component. This invention is named the storage solar collector [7]. A storage solar collector gives a practical model for the utilization of solar water heating in multiple climates due to its simplicity.…”

“…Many designs were presented recently for solar heaters. Kumar and Rosen [7] used a corrugated surface as an absorber surface to enhance the performance of the integrated storage solar collector. The use of the corrugated surface increases the area of the absorbent plate exposed to solar radiation, thereby increasing the amount of solar energy absorbed by the collector.…”

This article includes a practical assessment of a novel design of the domestic solar collector and verification of its home uses, where the proposed model can be utilized as a water tank instead of the usual cubic and cylindrical tanks utilized in homes. This design is inspired by cutting the cylinder with two levels: a first level is a vertical plane and the second level is inclined with 45°. The experiments were conducted in two locations, the first in the Iraqi Kirkuk city (35.47 N o , 44.39 o E), and the other in the Turkish van city (38°.5 N o , 43.33 o E). Two identical practical models were built for this purpose. The results of the article confirmed the average water temperature of the model under Iraqi weather conditions is higher than the water temperature of the collector in Turkish weather conditions. The results of the model under Iraqi weather conditions showed that the average water temperature reached about 53 °C at 5 p.m. Under load condition, the highest water temperature leaving the new collector was 47 o C at 4 p.m. in Kirkuk. The results confirmed that the average water temperature leaving the collector depends on the volume flow rate of water and the surrounding climatic conditions.
