Dust-Repellent Coatings With TiO2-Based Nanomolecular

TiO2-based nano coatings on Solar panels  have found that they can be effective at controlling dust and dirt when in an area exposed to UV radiation. 

Nano Tech Ausis  developing a nanoparticle delivery system that can be used to create dust-repellent coatings for solar panels, improving their efficiency and minimizing needed maintenance. The technology prevents soiling  of solar panels.

Over time, Solar panels  can become less efficient due to the accumulation of dust, dirt and other debris on the panel surface. On a long enough timescale, soiling can reduce solar panel efficiency by up to 30%.

Solar panels installed on the roof of a home may not be easily accessible by a homeowner. If they can’t clean the panels or afford a cleaning crew that can do it for them, this loss of efficiency can persist for months.

Businesses with remote solar installations face similar challenges.

The labor costs of cleaning solar panels can significantly cut into the savings the individual or company.
