Abstract

Thermal energy storage is an important factor to be considered in the study of solar energy. This is because at night the earth is protected from direct sunlight. Modern energy needs require continuous energy available. Metal is one of the ingredients used to store solar energy in the form of heat due to its nature as a good conductor of heat. The purpose of this study is to analyze the metal as a thermal energy storage material for use in a solar oven. Aluminum and copper were selected for the study. This experimental method has been carried out in a stagnant environment. The data obtained from experimental methods are tabulated in the form of graphs. Results of the experiments that have been conducted show that the use of aluminum and copper in the solar oven can increase the heat stored in an enclosed space. Aluminum metal shows an increase in temperature better than copper at noon when solar radiation readings maximum, but the temperature of aluminum also decreased faster than copper where the temperature readings in the solar oven is the same in the evening for the two metals. In conclusion, aluminum can act as thermal storage for solar oven and use of aluminum can be used to increase the oven temperature even higher, especially when solar radiation received is high. Copper is suitable for use when solar radiation received is not fixed, especially when clouds cover the sun.

Key Words
