Applications of nanofluids in different solar energy systems are increased day by day. However, many problems and challenges face the concerned researchers such as the divergence in results obtained by different researchers and the lack of understanding of the physical mechanisms of the nanofluids properties.
In addition, some of the solar energy not used during photovoltaic conversion is converted to heat, leading to an increase in the temperature of the PV cells, even above 40°C relative to the ambient temperature . Studies have shown that a temperature increase of about 1°C above 25°C results in a decrease in module efficiency of about 0.45%.
Following conclusions have been drawn from this review paper. The efficiency of a solar photovoltaic system is increased by combining solar cell with a solar collector. Nanofluid is used to cool the cell of the PV system to increase electrical efficiency by increasing the thermal conductivity of the base fluid.
