What is it about?
It is observed that the thermal energy storage system (TES), using solar collector, is a useful device for storing sensible and latent heat in a unit volume. The nanoparticles find the use in various industrial applications because of its properties, such as thermal, mechanical, optical and electrical. Most of the investigations carried out earlier on the applications of nanofluid in solar energy are related to their uses in the solar collector and thermal storage system. The parabolic solar collector using nanofluid is still a challenge.

Why is it important?
This article presents an exhaustive review of thermal storage system using nanofluid based solar collector and a scope of using nanofluid based solar collector for performance enhancement.
Perspectives
I hope this article makes what people might think is a boring, slightly abstract area like renewable energy and measuring things like solar energy, kind of interesting and maybe even exciting. Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations.
