The present invention relates to a molecular solar thermal system (MOST) based on a pair of isomers, comprising in its low energy ground stage primarily a first low-energy isomer which is excitable by solar light to form a metastable high-energy isomer and in its high energy state primarily a second metastable high energy photoisomer generated via photochemical conversion from the solar light excitable first isomer. Said MOST system is characterized by high photo isomerization yields due to the light driven out-of-equilibrium isomerization of the first isomer and is further characterized by a superior thermal stability of the second high energy photo isomer. This allows a long-term storage of collected solar light energy without occurrence of spontaneous unwanted back-isomerization. By applying a particular class of, optionally immobilized, strong basic catalysts, the stored solar energy is released in a controlled manner in a catalytic thermalback reaction to yield the low energy first isomer. This offers the possibility of establishing a cyclic process for repeatedly converting solar light energy into thermal energy. The present invention also provides methods of storing solar thermal energy, methods of releasing stored solar thermal energy, methods of reversibly storing solar thermal energy as well as particular solar thermal energy storage devices comprising the use of the above mentioned MOST pair of photoisomers.
