6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic cell coating process knowledge]

Why is self-cleaning coating important for photovoltaic modules?

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.

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.

Why do solar cells need a high temperature coating?

Apart from these methods, lithography, screen printing, and roll-to-roll methods have been used in a few applications. However, the high temperature applied to the coatings on solar cells disrupts the PV properties of the solar cells. The purpose of the application of the heat is to ensure that the coating adheres to the surface.

What is the difference between self-cleaning and uncoated photovoltaic modules?

In contrast, self-cleaning coatings have lower cost and more reliable technology. Piliougine et al. (2013) compared the power generated by uncoated and coated photovoltaic modules and found that the module with self-cleaning coating lost 2.5% of energy every day, while the uncoated module lost about 3.3%.

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.

How to choose the best coating thickness for photovoltaic modules?

The coating is superhydrophobic, with a contact angle of approximately 159° and a transmittance of 85% (Fig. 12). Thus, when applied to photovoltaic modules, the best coating thickness can be obtained by controlling the number of coating layers. This method is easy to implement and cost-effective.
