Charging of energy storage system using flat plate solar collector (FPSC) is very popular in recent years. FPSC for the thermal energy storage system (TESS) using hybrid nanofluid was discussed in this manuscript. Hybrid nanofluid of CuO+ Al 2 O 3 /water was used as heat transfer fluid (HTF) for solar collector which is coupled with thermal storage and analysis carried out. To predict the thermal performance of energy storage system using hybrid nanofluid, a stainless steel container was used for thermal storage. CuO+Al 2 O 3 /water hybrid nanofluid were used to investigate the thermal performance of the solar collector and energy storage system. The FPSC is used for experimental investigation on the stainless steel container TESS. The flat plate solar collector is found more efficient than the other conventional type solar collector using hybrid nanofluid. The temperature of stainless steel container thermal energy storage system was reached to 87°C by using hybrid nanofluid in FPSC.
