The self-cleaning coating has attracted extensive attention in the photovoltaic industry and the scientific community because of its unique mechanism and high adaptability. Therefore, an efficient and stable self-cleaning coating is necessary to protect the cover glass on the photovoltaic panel. There are many self-cleaning phenomena in nature.
The WCA and the average transmission of the coated solar cells have been improved up to 161° and 95%, respectively. Moreover, it can remove the dust effectively at a tilt angle as low as 10°, and the coated PV panel can recover more than 90% of its efficiency after being washed with water.
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.
Lifetime testing of PV panels needs improvement to investigate failure modes. End-of-life management includes recovering silver and copper from old solar panels. The most dependable part of photovoltaic (PV) power systems are PV modules. Under normal operating conditions, the PV module will continue to function properly for 25 years.
