Thermal Energy storage has been the significant area of research over the last many decades. Various methodsand materials are developed for storing heat energy. Yet a main obstacle to modern methods is its lack of thermal mass.Phase change materials are one of the optimized alternate to various energy storing methods and materials. They havehigh energy storage capacity. In any case, despite the fact that the data is quantitatively tremendous, it is moreoverspread generally in the writing, and hard to discover. This report contrasts on the properties of phase change materialsand also reveals their significant applications. Furthermore, the discussion includes main benefits and drawbacks ofphase change materials over the different renewable energy sources. It also carries various types of PCMs andperformance analysis of PCMs for selecting the best required PCM for the purpose of heating and cooling of building
