Anti-Reflective Coating optimizes efficiency of solar panels

clipped from www.worldofphotovoltaics.com Designed to optimize light transmittance through glass that covers PV panels, SOLARC transparent coating helps maximize PV module efficiency and power output. Coating also minimizes glare from glass, allowing PV panels to blend with surroundings. Compatible with spray, roller, curtain, slot-die, and spin-on coating processes, liquid-based coating protects glass in hot and humid conditions and enables anti-soiling and self-cleaning functionality that prevents dust accumulation. Honeywell (NYSE:HON) Electronic Materials announced today a new material that improves the efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels. The new product, called Honeywell SOLARC, is a transparent coating material that improves the light transmittance through the glass that covers PV panels, thus increasing the PV module efficiency and power output. This coating also significantly reduces glare from the glass, allowing the PV panels to better blend with its surroundings.
