6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel cleaning coating]

Why do photovoltaic panels need a self-cleaning coating?

The self-cleaning coating has attracted extensive attention in the photovoltaic industry and the scientific community because of its unique mechanism and high adaptability. Therefore, an efficient and stable self-cleaning coating is necessary to protect the cover glass on the photovoltaic panel. There are many self-cleaning phenomena in nature.

Which nanomaterial can be used for self-cleaning coating on solar PV panels?

Apart from SiO 2 nanomaterial, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) is another well-known nanomaterial that can be used for self-cleaning coating on solar PV panels as it possesses both hydrophilic and photocatalysis properties. The developed TiO 2 /silane coating possesses the WCA below 10°.

Does a self-cleaning coating reduce dust accumulation on PV panels?

In this study, a self-cleaning coating is focused on PV application mainly to reduce dust accumulation on PV panels. Hydrophobic coatings provide a variety of conveniences including a reduction in maintenance cost, the extermination of dreary manual work as well as minimizing time spent on cleaning.

What is a self-cleaning photovoltaic (PV) panel?

Self-cleaning photovoltaic (PV) panel. 2211-3398/© 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Dust is a small dry solid particle in the air that is emerged from natural forces (wind, volcanic eruption, and chemical) or man-made processes (crushing, grinding, milling, drilling, demolition, etc.) with its diameter ranging from 1 to 100 μm .

What is solar photovoltaic panel cleaning technology?

The Solar Photovoltaic panel cleaning technology can considerably increase the efficiency of electricity generated and also increase the durability of Solar panels.

Why do photovoltaic panels need a transparent coating?

When sunlight shines on the photovoltaic panel, part of the visible light will be reflected, and the rest will be converted and utilized. Therefore, the transparency and anti-reflection of the self-cleaning coatings applied on photovoltaic modules cannot be ignored.
