In solar heating applications

Reference no: EM13662276

In solar heating applications, heat energy is stored in some medium until it is need (e.g., to heat a home at night). Should this medium have a high or a low specific heat? Suggest a substance that would be appropriate for utilize as a heat-storage medium, and describe its advantages.
