Reducing dust effects on photovoltaic panels by hydrophobic coating

A thermoelectric analysis demonstrated that nanocoated photovoltaic (PV) modules are running cooler than untreated ones. This behavior is due to hot spot caused by shading effects of dusts in case of uncoated PV panels. The tested hydrophobic coating layer reduces these issues and solves the problems of dust and electrical losses.

Anti-Reflection Coatings

For photovoltaic applications, the refractive index, and thickness are chosen in order to minimize reflection for a wavelength of 0.6 µm. This wavelength is chosen since it is close to the peak power of the solar spectrum. Comparison of surface reflection from a silicon solar cell, with and without a typical anti-reflection coating. 1.
