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.
One promising approach involves the application of antireflective coatings to the surface of the photovoltaic glass to improve its transmittance. However, balancing mechanical durability, self-cleaning characteristics, and optical performance for photovoltaic applications remains challenging.
These coatings act as a barrier, protecting the underlying materials from direct contact with moisture and corrosive substances. Organic coatings, such as anti-reflective coatings, are commonly used to enhance corrosion resistance and improve the overall performance of c-Si solar cells .
When self-cleaning coating is applied to photovoltaic modules, its self-cleaning performance is undoubtedly the most important. Researchers are also trying to find ways to improve the self-cleaning performance of super hydrophobic and super-hydrophilic coatings.
Therefore, researchers resorted to using passive and active cooling systems, but this technology adds more cost to their manufacture and application. In addition to increasing the size of the solar panel system, other technologies are using nano-composite coatings, such as TiO2, ZnO, and CNT, to apply to the surface of PV solar cells.
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.
However, with the development of super-hydrophilic coatings, it is found that super-hydrophilic coatings on photovoltaic panels have better self-cleaning effect because …
