6 FAQs about [Water-based self-cleaning coating film photovoltaic panel]

Can hydrophobic sol-gel based coating be used in photovoltaic system?

This study proposes the development and application of hydrophobic sol-gel based coating in the photovoltaic system. The aims include synthesizing a hydrophobic sol-gel based self-cleaning coating for solar panel and characterizing the hydrophobic sol-gel based self-cleaning coating.

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 .

Why do PV panels need a self-cleaning coating?

With the progressive development in nanotechnology, the demands on self-cleaning coating increasing among the PV panel industry. The end-users look forward to the flexible coating that has an easy spray-fabrication technique besides saving energy and time and applicable on any glass scale.

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.

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°.

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.
