Scientists from the Research Institutes of Sweden AB (RISE) are developing a special coating for the cover glass of photovoltaic modules that is claimed to attain low adhesion of snow and ice, high ...

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 ...

Engineers have invented a way to passively remove snow from solar panels to allow them to keep generating electricity during adverse weather conditions. A team from the University of Toledo in the ...

German researchers have developed a technique for applying realistic designs to photovoltaic (PV) modules ...

Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology (FEP) claims to have applied crystalline titanium oxide to ultra-thin glass for the first time in a ...

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a simple and affordable hydrogel coating that not only enhances the heat dissipation in solar panels for cooling their ...

Farm and Dairy: Giuseppe Strangi, professor of physics and the Ohio Research Scholar in Surfaces of Advanced Materials, was part of a team that created a new type of coating that could make the ...

Settling snow and ice can significantly dampen the output of a solar panel, and if enough accumulates this can even cause damage or catastrophic collapse. But a transparent coating can shed everything ...

DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing layer ...
