This paper focuses on the integration of various heat pipes with solar PV systems and innovative technologies from historical development and recent advancements. In addition, the major observations and challenges are highlighted, and the prospects for future development are corroborated.
To date, some phased summaries have been published regarding the use of heat pipes in solar PV or PV/T systems. For example, a review study conducted by Zhou et al. [ 37] summarized the structure and operational principles of the heat pipe PV/T system, and pointed out the research gaps and future trends.
This expansion in length must be taken into account through appropriate fastening (compensators) and the installation of expansion bends or bendable joints in the pipe. Solar pipes are dimensioned in the same way as heating pipes.
Based on the preceding literature review, using heat pipes in solar energy systems, including solar PV and PV/T systems, is a possible solution for addressing the issues experienced in normal systems. To date, some phased summaries have been published regarding the use of heat pipes in solar PV or PV/T systems.
For heat pipe PV system, the waste heat released from the condenser part could be recycled again instead of rejecting in vain. For instance, when paired with a solar still, the extra heat might be utilised to warm up the sea water to hasten the desalination process.
There are two main choices for how to arrange the plumbing in the solar loop, drain-back and pressurised solar systems: When the pump is not running in a drain-back solar system, all of the liquid is inside the building and the solar panels are empty of fluid.

Solar cycles are periods—or "cycles"—of solar activity. This activity is driven by the sun''s magnetic field and can vary drastically in intensity and length. This intensity is measured by the frequency and intensity of sunspots on the sun''s surface. Sunspots are dark areas on the solar surface that have strong, constantly shifting magnetic fields. Sunspots are cooler than the rest ...
