In solar heat storage application sometimes sensible heat storage is used, or latent heat storage, sometimes the two storage phases are used (hyper). Which system of them is more suitable for solar heat storage applications.
Dear Dr Khalil
Each system you mentioned has its advantages and disadvantages, then the its usage depends on the application perfumed. The sensible heat storage has a storage capacity lower than the other systems but more dynamic that means it can be charged and discharged easily and faster than the other systems. The latent heat storage stores higher heat compared with sensible heat storage but its charging and discharging processes are slower than sensible heat system. The hyper system uses the two properties of both sensible and latent heat storage systems. It has the high storage media (latent heat storage) and the fast charging and discharging ability. However, it takes a part from each property not all, so, it is between the two systems.

Dear Khaleel,
As already discussed by Dr. Chaichan briefly, each system has its advantages and disadvantages and application of either or both is only determined by the requirements of the installation itself.
However, thermodynamically speaking, latent heat storage is generally considered a superior systems as it ensures that the maximum heat energy is stored and released at a certain minimum quality (Temperature). Also, any system so designed to utilize this effect would be operating at an efficiency much closer to the Carnot parameters (within the same temperature range) as opposed to sensible heat storage. Hence, latent heat storage is preferred.
Kindly let me know if further clarification is required.
I hope it helps.
Dear sir s Miqdam and Aditya Chauhan thank you for answers i think that latent heat storage media get more heat .
