How effective is a coated glass solar PV system?
The effectiveness of this method is compared with a developed solar PV thermal (PV/T) system, evaluating both performance and cost-effectiveness. After six months of outdoor exposure, the coated glass solar PV achieved an efficiency of 7.6%, surpassing bare glass solar PV at 6.0%.
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.
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.
What factors affect the power difference between coated and uncoated PV panels?
It was found that conditions such as cloudiness, rainfall, and muddy stains significantly influenced the power difference (ΔP) between the coated and uncoated PV panels. The increase in ΔP was due to the improved dust removal from the super-hydrophilic surface of the coated panels.
What factors should be considered when applying photovoltaic coatings?
When applied to photovoltaic modules, it is crucial to consider the factors such as self-cleaning, transparency, anti-reflection, anti-icing, and durability. In future research, it is significant to improve the transparency, durability, and self-cleaning properties of coatings.
