Abstract
Solar energy generally is the natural solution of environmental pollution due to fossil fuel burning to fulfil the electrical energy demands today. As it is the alternative of a limited source, research on solar energy caught attention of various industry and field experts due to its renewability characteristic. Communication technology industry is not an exception. The advancement in the current industry makes the integration of solar and antenna is crucial to be explored to cater issues such as limited surface area on a device, or for standalone application that required self-powered telecommunication system. It is an obligatory to analyse the features of current solar antenna as an initial step before the process of improvement and adaptability of design and application that will be done next. In this paper, a thoroughly review of advancement of the solar antenna design technology are discussed. These antennas are divided to solid type, semi-transparent type, and transparent type according to its antenna components’ transparency. For each category, the features that reviewed are the antenna configuration, material used in the design, type of solar cell used, operating frequency of the antenna, performance of the solar antenna and the integration process done.
