Are smart hybrid coatings a new advancement in solar panel coatings?

Interestingly, the smart hybrid coatings present a new advancement in solar panel coatings as they combine multiple properties that may significantly enhance the transparency, wettability, anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties of glass substrates along with offering other functionalities such as self-healing and antimicrobial activity.

Are transparent-superhydrophobic coatings suitable for solar panels?

Therefore, these transparent-superhydrophobic coatings are being considered as good candidates for solar panels since they enhance the extent of light transmission and absorbance. Amongst most transparent materials, aromatic polyimides films are regarded as high performance coatings.

Are nanocoated panels more efficient than reference panels?

After 40 days of exposure to outdoor conditions, the dust densities on the RP and PNP panels' surfaces were 10 and 4.39 g/m 2, respectively. Thus, the nanocoated panel's efficiency was found to be higher than that of the reference panel by 30.7%.

What materials are used to develop a photocatalytic coating?

There are various materials used for developing such coatings, including silver, copper, and metal oxides of photocatalytic effects . These substances combined with superhydrophobicity and transparency make the coatings multifunctional and intelligent to be targeted to the extended practical applications.
