The current study provides an overview of FPSCs, detailing their advantages and disadvantages, along with recent research on diverse methods for performance enhancement. These encompass constructive operational parameters, such as incorporating turbulence generators, fins, phase change materials (PCMs), nano-fluids working mediums, improving solar radiation harvest through reflectors, utilising mini- micro-channels fluid flow. It was observed that, depending the design application, inclusion turbulators fins FPSCs may result in efficiency improvements. Furthermore, integrating PCMs into enhances thermal efficiency, paraffin wax being a commonly used PCM SCs. adoption instead water proves to be beneficial efficiency. Employing reflectors collectors improves heating process overall performance. Additionally, mini microchannels SCs reliability heat transfer, higher compressive strength, reduces costs contact resistance compared conventional FPSCs.
