Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As widely recognized in the literature, solar energy is a renewable, abundant, widely distributed, and sustainable renewable source. For these reasons, solar technologies represent a potential strategy for decarbonization to ensure greener energy production. Nonetheless, the main drawback of solar energy is its intermittent behavior that changes with the alternation of day and night, weather conditions, and seasons, thus requiring heat storage to alleviate this limit.
This special issue, "Advanced Solar Technologies and Thermal Energy Storage", focuses on studies of different uses of solar energy, possibly coupled with heat storage systems, to improve the spread of solar technologies and define their state of the art in different research fields. For this reason, original papers, reviews, and perspective papers that discuss solar technologies and their uses are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
