Can optical waveguide enhance solar-thermal energy storage system?

For example, the optical fiber can be coated with heat conducting tube. Thus the heat release of the thermal storage system can be enhanced. In summary, we introduced optical waveguide into solar-thermal energy storage system to enhance the charging rate and solar-thermal energy conversion efficiency.

What are the advantages of solar-thermal charging interface?

This optimization of solar-thermal charging interface avoided the overheating surface of the PCMs and reduced the convection and radiation heat loss greatly. Comparing to traditional surface irradiation mode, this inner-light-supply mode accelerated the charging rate by 123% and the solar thermal efficiency could up to 94.85%.
