Comprehensive review of the recent advances in PV/T system with loop-pipe configuration and nanofluid

Solar photovoltaic/thermal technology has been widely utilized in building service area as it generates thermal and electrical energy simultaneously. In order to improve the system performance, nanofluids are employed fluid owing its high conductivity. This paper summarizes state-of-the-art of systems with different loop-pipe configurations (including heat pipe, vacuum tube, roll-bond, exchanger, micro-channel, U-tube, triangular tube mat) nanoparticles Copper-oxide, Aluminium-oxide, Silicon carbide, Tribute, Magnesium-oxide, Cerium-oxide, Tungsten-oxide, Titanium-oxide, Zirconia-oxide, Graphene Carbon). The influences critical parameters like nanoparticle optical properties, volume fraction, mass flux flow rates, on performance for optimum efficiency. Furthermore, structure manufacturing solar cells, micro-thermometry analysis cells recycling process photovoltaic panels explored. At end, standpoints, recommendations potential future development various deliberated overcome barriers challenges practical application. study demonstrates that advanced configuration could efficiency approximately 15%–30% comparison conventional type whereas nanofluid is able boost around 10%–20% compared traditional working fluid.
