PV Enhancer Coating is engineered to boost the efficiency of solar panels. The coating reduces solar cell reflection, thereby enhancing efficiency and the panels’ self-cleaning capabilities while mitigating pollutant degradation. Its anti-static properties actively repel dust and dirt. The superhydrophobic, antireflective coatings offer self-cleaning, anti-dust, anti-pollution, anti-icing, and anti-fogging features, all contributing to improved solar cell efficiency. The coating works by applying a thin, transparent, hydrophilic layer onto the PV panel. When exposed to sunlight, the coating's photocatalyst component produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS interact with organic materials like microbes and VOC compounds present on surfaces, breaking them down. The resulting oxygen compounds then react with water and carbon dioxide, neutralizing them.
