  An exergy analysis has been performed to determine the potential for useful 
  work in a latent heat storage system with phase change material (PCM) for a 
  flat-plate solar collector. Commercial paraffin wax is used as PCM to store 
  and release energy in the solid-liquid transformation; this material is located 
  in metal containers under the absorber plate on the bottom insulation of the 
  collector. The exergy analysis is performed in outdoor conditions for days of 
  low, medium and high
