The MoreSun product includes an Anti-Reflective (AR) & Anti-Soiling (AS) silica shield to any solar array.
Scientific Reports 12, Article number: 1675 (2022) Cite this article Soiling of photovoltaic modules and the reflection of incident light from the solar panel glass reduces the efficiency and performance of solar panels; therefore, the glass should be improved to have antifouling properties.
In this work, commercial solar panels were coated with sparked titanium films, and the antireflective, super-hydrophilic, and photocatalytic properties of the films were investigated. The reflectance, photocatalytic properties, and degradation of the organic pollutant methylene blue were determined using UV–Vis spectroscopy.
This loss can be mitigated by the use of anti-reflection coatings, which now cover over 90% of commercial modules. This review looks at the field of anti-reflection coatings for solar modules, from single layers to multilayer structures, and alternatives such as glass texturing.
These reflection losses can be addressed by the use of anti-reflection (AR) coatings, and currently around 90% of commercial PV modules are supplied with an AR coating applied to the cover glass , . The widespread use of AR coatings is a relatively recent development.
Over 30% of the surface of bare silicon is reflective. So, anti-reflection coatings (ARC) and surface texturing both help to reduce reflection. Solar cell anti-reflection coatings are comparable to those used on other optical devices like camera lenses.
Therefore, self-cleaning surfaces (super-hydrophilic and super-hydrophobic) are among the most interesting methods for use in solar panel cleaning applications. The self-cleaning surface acts as an anti-dust coating and reduces the accumulation of dust particles 15, 16.

The application of amphiphobic nanocomposite coating on PV panels for antifouling and self-cleaning is as well demonstrated. Through simulated solar cell tests, the PV modules coated with S-P@BASSF have achieved a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 15.7 %, which is 3.09 % higher than that of the uncoated substrate. We believe that the transparent …
Anti-reflective properties: Films can be designed to have anti-reflective properties, which reduce the amount of light reflected away from the surface of the solar cell. This property ensures low glare and also means that more light is absorbed by the solar cell, increasing its efficiency.

Thin-film solar panels are priced between $1 and $1.50 per watt on average, presenting a cost-effective solution in the solar panel market. Of the thin-film solar cell types, CdTe cells are the least expensive due to their low manufacturing costs. Some reports on CdTe show prices as low as $0.46/Watt. Amorphous silicon solar cells cost between $0.50 to $1.50 …

All CS-AR TiO 2 –SiO 2 films had good hydrophilic properties. The contact angle tended to increase with decreased surface porosity, varying in the range of 0° – 6°. These results showed that the CS-AR TiO 2 –SiO 2 films had antifog and antifouling properties, indicating their great potential application as protective glass in solar panels.
The TiO 2 /SiO 2 thin film is commonly used as anti-reflective coating since the SiO 2 possess low reflective index and great optical transmission. Meanwhile, TiO 2 is a photocatalyst which can induce great self-cleaning and weather-resistance of coating system.
