Walwahan Solar Plant
Neemuch
The Walwahan Solar Plant, a Tata Power subsidiary located in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, India, had been utilizing Chinese-made Rene Solar Panels for over 10 years, cleaning them twice a week. To enhance the performance of each solar panel, they adopted Tri Nano technology. This involved applying a 0.4-micron solid-state nano coating, composed of inorganic/oxide material, to the top glass surface of the panels using an electro-deposition process.
Following the application of our advanced nano coating, the Walwahan Solar Plant observed a significant improvement in operational efficiency. Power generation increased by 3.8%, showcasing the coating's effectiveness in enhancing the performance of the solar panels. Additionally, the cleaning frequency required for maintenance dropped by an impressive 56%, leading to reduced labor, water usage, and overall maintenance costs.
Solar panels manufacturers state 20-22% efficiency when sun rays are at 90 degrees & panel temperature of 25°C. Under normal conditions, efficiency remains 15-18%. Regular maintenance and cleaning are needed to remove oil, grime, dust, and bird droppings, which is recurring cost. Panels degrade over time, requiring replacement after 12-15 years, a significant investment. Our 0.4-micron solid-state nano coating made of inorganic/oxide material applied by electro-deposition process is applied to top glass surface of panels. It increases surface area & creates microstructure similar to Amazon rainforest. It traps light and directs to underlying silica cells, generating more power. Due to its unique microstructure, particles like dust, oil, grime, & bird droppings don't stick & can be easily cleaned with high-pressure air, soft brush or rain. Our coating increaes performance of every solar panel, regardless of its make, type, age, or location from day one.
