Abstract

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of nanofluid is solar photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system. In this review paper, different parameters of nanofluids such as concentration ratio, volume fraction, nanoparticles size, volume flow rate have been analyzed to investigate and to enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system. With proper selection of nanofluid parameters such as concentration ration, volume flow rate, volume fraction, high thermal conductivity, high rate of heat transfer etc., the overall efficiency of a solar photovoltaic system is enhanced. Nanofluids with high thermal conductivity enhance the performance of solar PV/T system. The thermal efficiency, electrical efficiency and the overall efficiency of the solar photovoltaic thermal system is improved by the use of nanofluids. The experimental as well as theoretical research work performed using nanofluid in different solar PV/T system has been covered in this review paper.
