Solar energy is secure, clean, and available on earth throughout the year. The
PV/T system is a device designed to receive solar energy and convert it into
electric/thermal energy. Nanofluid is a new generation of heat transfer fluid
with promising higher thermal conductivity and improve heat transfer rate
compared with conventional fluids. In this review, the recent studies of PV/T
using nanofluid is discussed regarding basic concept and theory PV/T,
thermal conductivity of nanofluid and experimentally and theoretically study
the perfromance of PV/T using nanofluid. A review of the literature shows
that many studies have evaluated the potential of nanofluid as heat transfer
fluid and optical filter in the PV/T system. The preparations of nanofluid play
an essential key for high stability and homogenous nanofluid for a long
period. The thermal conductivity of nanofluid is depending on the size of
nanoparticles, concentration and preparation of nanofluids.
