Abstract: Utilization of solar energy increased day by day due to the scarcity of natural resources such as fosil fuel (coal, oil, and natural gas) and the emission of Carbon dioxide (CO2)). Sun is the most important source of renewable energy on the earth as it is available free of cost and it is free of greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide. Solar energy can be used for producing electricity, heating, cooling, and detoxification. It can be stored for future use also. But there is a problem in the proper utilization of solar energy and heat transfer process of the solar energy system. To overcome this situation the researcher designed the solar energy system in such a way that it can increase the heat transfer process. It is observed that solar energy system can be improved by the use of nano fluids. Nano fluid is nothing but the mixture nanoparticle together with the base fluid, which can store the solar energy and can be used in future. The major aim of this review article is to develop the renewable energy with the help of nano fluids and accelerate the production of renewable energy in several solar thermal systems.
