<p>A solar energy system (10) including a collector (12) for collecting and concentrating solar radiation, a receiver (14) associated with the collector for converting the radiation concentrated by the collector into thermal energy, a thermal energy accumulator (16), and a thermal energy transfer system (18) for transferring thermal energy from the receiver to the thermal energy accumulator is disclosed. The thermal energy accumulator comprises a mixture of fusible salts (20) which begin nucleation at different temperatures whereby the latent heat of fusion of the contained salts can be used to spread the time over which usable heat can be extracted from the thermal energy accumulator, while maintaining the total mixture in a flowable state.</p> |
