Efficient conversion of sunlight into useful heat is globally of high interest. Conversion of solar energy into the thermal energy can be done via solar thermal collectors. Solar thermal collectors should be always coupled to storage systems to overcome the intermittent nature of solar energy and supply the energy demand. In this research, we are going to develop a new class of solar collectors in which conversion and storage occur in one single unit. This means the solar collector directly absorbs the solar radiation and stores it in form of thermal energy.
