Recent study of nanotechnology application in efficiency enhancement for solar energy system development

The establishment of the renewable energy transition roadmap has led to the utilization of solar energy in decreasing the dependencies on electricity generation using thermal coal. Since the development of the solar farm requires a lot of investment, the solar panel must be able to capture maximum photons from sunshine to generate more electricity. Because of this, the study related to solar energy shifted to developing an efficient solar energy harvesting from sunlight. The attention of the study of the solar cell falls on the improvement of the efficiency of photon capturing ability using several nanotechnology applications. In this paper, a recent study of nanotechnology application in efficiency enhancement for solar energy system development is reviewed with the latest literature. The aim of this review is to identify the research gap found in the latest literature that could outline the issues in preparing further improvement planning to enhance the efficiency of the solar energy system.
