In the case of the closed-loop solar heating system, the HTF is typically a mixture of water and propylene glycol. The process of filling the plumbing system with this antifreeze while purging all the air out must be done systematically and in the right order. This is known as "charging" the system. The object is to permanently fill the
The term "photovoltaic" refers to a technology which uses a device to produce free electrons when exposed to light and thus create an electric current. Photovoltaic technology converts sunlight into electrical energy in a direct way as opposed to the more circuitous approach of solar thermal technologies that capture sunlight to heat a gas or fluid and subsequently use heat

In a photovoltaic cooling system, the water losses are mainly due to the evaporation and leakage from the PV panel. Moharram et al. (2013) observed that the water loss due to evaporation per month is about 5% of the total water in the water spraying system. Thus, this system is favourable for PV station installation in deserts.
It was concluded that using nanofluids enhanced thermal energy transport from solar collectors to storage containers and increased the energy density . It was also believed that the effectiveness of FPCs was increased by utilizing the nano-fluids in lieu of classic heat transport liquids .
The water sprayed over the top surface shows a decrease in the surface temperature of 5 °C to 23 °C and an increase in output power by 9–22% for different solar radiation levels.
