What is a thermochemical heat storage system?

Different from sensible heat storage systems and latent heat storage systems, a thermochemical heat storage system uses reversible endothermic/exothermic reactions to absorb, store and release energy between solar heat and chemical reactants.

Why do solar collectors need a thermal energy storage system?

Because of the unstable and intermittent nature of solar energy availability, a thermal energy storage system is required to integrate with the collectors to store thermal energy and retrieve it whenever it is required.
