Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced power generation efficiency in photovoltaic setups, suggesting effective anti-soiling solutions.

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop a transparent superhydrophobic coating with durability enhancements to improve photovoltaic glass efficiency.
  • Developed a PMMA/PFOTS/SiO2 hybrid coating via a one-step sol-gel method.
  • Measured water contact angle (WCA), sliding angle, and optical transmittance of the coating.
  • Conducted alkaline immersion tests for durability assessment.
  • Achieved a WCA of 155.2° ± 1.1° before and 165.1° ± 1.4° after alkaline treatment.
  • Demonstrated 87.6% optical transmittance in the 400–2500 nm range.
  • Reduced EQE attenuation to 8.3% compared to 58.3% for commercial coatings.
