ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology has been shown to contribute energy generation to energy conservation through the development and application of energy saving and renewable energy technologies. In the field of renewable energy, nanotechnology has contributed to the development of a variety of solar photolytic (PV) technologies for electricity production. Nanotechnology is a tool to develop new technology based on cost-effective and cost-efficient economies, thus seriously contributing to a sustainable economic growth. The new emerging technologies are needed to harvest incident solar photons with greater efficiency and economic viability. A photovoltaic system consists of solar panels composed of a number of solar cells to supply useable solar power into heat and electricity. It has a hybrid structure that converts part of the solar radiation to thermal and part to electricity. Hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) consists of two components: photovoltaic (PV) and thermal (T), which enables to produce both electricity and heat.
