Researchers in Türkiye have developed a passive anti-soiling coating for PV panels using oleic acid–modified aluminum oxide nanoparticles applied via spray coating. Laboratory and field tests showed ...

A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels ...

Scientists in Egypt have created an anti-soiling coating for solar panels by mixing ethanol, deionized water, ammonium hydroxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate. They tested a coated panel outdoors for ...

Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can be a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can ...

Chinese solar PV solutions giant Longi has unveiled its Hi-MO X10 anti-dust solar panel at the Jinan International Solar Energy Utilization Conference. The series features HPBC 2.0 cell technology, a ...

Deserts are popular locations for solar farms, given that they're very sunny and contain a lot of wide-open spaces. Unfortunately, they're also quite dusty, meaning that solar panels quickly get ...

Technology designed to help space exploration can be used to keep solar panels dust free and energy efficient, say US researchers. Dr Malay K. Mazumder, of Boston University has presented his latest ...
