Researchers develop dirt-repelling solar panel coating that doesn’t affect light absorption
AI Analysis
Summary
<p>A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels self-cleaning and improve their power output. The dual-layer coating repels water, dust and dirt without reducing the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells. The breakthrough is reported in the academic journal Colloids and Surfaces A: Physiochemical and Engineering Aspects. “We…</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2026/03/researchers-develop-dirt-repelling-solar-panel-coating-that-doesnt-affect-light-absorption/">Researchers develop dirt-repelling solar panel coating that doesn’t affect light absorption</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com">Solar Power World</a>.</p>
