A startup solar coating company, SunDensity has developed a sputtered nano-optical coating for the glass surface of solar panels that boosts the energy yield by 20 percent, achieved by capturing more blue light than standard cells. The development is
Scientists in Egypt have created a self-cleaning, hydrophobic coating for solar panels that reportedly increases their efficiency by more than 30%. They used a coating solution based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanocomposites, mixed with ethanol and isopropanol.
They used a coating solution based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanocomposites, mixed with ethanol and isopropanol. Scientists at Al-Azhar University in Egypt have developed a hydrophobic nanocoating with a self-cleaning effect that can reportedly increase the efficiency of solar panels by up to 30.7%.
Innovations promise additional cost savings as new materials, like thin-film perovskite, reduce the need for silicon panels and purpose-built solar farms. ‘We can envisage perovskite coatings being applied to broader types of surface to generate cheap solar power, such as the roof of cars and buildings and even the backs of mobile phones.
This coating consists of “innovative solar modules” just 5 micrometers thick, applied seamlessly to the car body like a wafer-thin paste. The photovoltaic surface can be applied to any substrate, and the protective layer is a new type of nanoparticle-based paint that allows 94% of solar energy to pass through.
Most experts agree that solar technology has to surpass 10 percent efficiency to be viable,” according to the Solar Action Alliance. Among other solar glass coatings in development is that of SolarWindow Technologies, based in Vestal, New York, a developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings for glass and plastics.
