The coating reduces solar cell reflection, thereby enhancing efficiency and the panels' self-cleaning capabilities while mitigating pollutant degradation. Its anti-static properties actively repel dust and dirt. . This page brings together solutions from recent research—including nanostructured TiO2 photocatalytic layers, hydrophobic-hydrophilic combination surfaces, and integrated water management systems with micro-channel networks. These and other approaches focus on practical implementation in real-world. . While previous experiments have focused on incorporating photocatalysts into paving and building materials, we report coating glass substrates for the eventual application to solar panels that are inherently positioned to optimize the amount of solar exposure they receive, creating a surface. . The advantages of coated PV modules at a glance: Lowers the cost of photovoltaic cleaning. Our product produces a photocatalytically active protective layer of titanium dioxide (TiO 2) on the solar module. With the help of the light energy, the TiO 2 activates pure oxygen from the ambient air. . CERACOAT ceramic glass SC coating is a water-based system that protects PV panels from dirt and improves the light output.
