The overall system effectiveness based SiC nanofluid has a greater efficiency of around 88.9% than the separate PV panel. Results found that the SiC has the highest thermal conductivity and the best stability in comparison with CuO and Al 2 O 3. SiC nanofluid could enhance the system performance more than the CuO and Al 2 O 3.
The effectiveness of nanofluids as absorber fluids in a solar device strongly depends on the type of nanoparticles and base fluid, volume fraction of nanoparticles, radiative properties of nanofluids, temperature of the liquid, size and shape of the nanoparticles, pH values, and stability of the nanofluids .
