As we are moving towards a more technological future. The demand for greener energy is increasing and with this, new challenges are being faced relating to the production and use of renewable energy. To tackle this problem and bridge the gap between the production and consumption of renewable energy, nanotechnology is advancing. This Paper gives the basic summary of nanotechnology and its manufacturing and aims to introduce several significant applications of nanotechnology in renewable energy systems. It includes the theoretical study of solar energy, hydrogen energy and applications of nanotechnology in these sector. This study will help us understand, what role nanotechnology will be playing in the advancement of renewable energy.

“…23000 solar panels formed a 6MW power plant. Temperatures, especially in the summer, lower the effectiveness of all floating solar power plants, but water and its cooling action prevent such action [41]. China will connect the world's largest 50 MW floating solar power facility to the grid in 2020.…”

The Photovoltaic modules installed on the surface of the water are naturally cooled, reducing the loss of thermal power generation. Floating photovoltaic systems (FPVS) combine existing photovoltaic systems with a floating structure to generate clean energy. To meet the growing electricity demand, FPV systems will be integrated alongside existing dams to enhance existing power sources. The results indicate that the investment toward installing FPV systems over the dams' reservoirs leads to a significant improvement in the overall system reliability minimizes load curtailment, and could potentially add more flexibility to the operator to dispatch power generated by hydropower plants during peak demands. The execution of the Karun-4 FPV power plant with an annual production of 16758969 kWh of energy has reduced the water evaporation of the dam's reservoir water and after eight years and four months, the investment cost was returned and its nominal performance is 81.7 percent. Adding a floating solar power plant with 10% of the lake reservoir cover of six dams saves 70.7 million cubic meters of water per year. This amount of fresh water is enough to meet the annual needs of one million people.

“…As a result, the transmission to RESs is envisaged to strengthen the universal rivalry for land. For instance, the grabble of bioenergy energy has been already recognized as the main driver of recent land-use change in advanced regions [71][72][73]. Such an analysis technique would be a substantial contribution to solar power generation development both and regionally and nationally [74].…”

The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.
