Due to urbanisation, environmental concerns, escalation in energy demand has led to non-renewable energy resources like solar energy. For the past two decades, more inclination has been seen in developing photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems to fulfil the energy needs in terms of electrical and thermal energy with zero carbon emission. The present work attempts to categorise different PV/T systems with new design and heat transfer innovations to achieve high thermal and electrical performance. The study focuses on the recent development to enhance the efficiency using nanofluids, phase change material, heatpipe and thermoelectric generator. The review article investigates the recent advancement in PV/T collectors design, operations, economic viability and environmental impact. The paper also throws light on the applications, challenges and future scopes in research. The review paper will help researchers to carry out their research in optimising the design and developing a newly designed system while overcoming the limitations of the existing system.
