Abstract This research focuses on the development of solar ponds for efficient storage of solar energy. The influence of phase change material in the solar
storage capability of solar ponds has been studied in the present wok. A comparison in the temperature fluctuations of a typical solar pond is made with
its counterpart provided with phase change material. Readings have been taken during the sunshine hours in a day, and extended to seventy-five days.
The solar pond exhibited identical fluctuations in average temperature irrespective of the presence of phase change material. The results revealed that
