The self-cleaning coating has attracted extensive attention in the photovoltaic industry and the scientific community because of its unique mechanism and high adaptability. Therefore, an efficient and stable self-cleaning coating is necessary to protect the cover glass on the photovoltaic panel. There are many self-cleaning phenomena in nature.
These methods prepare self-cleaning surfaces by reacting gaseous substances with hot surfaces and depositing them on the surface. They are efficient but difficult to control accuracy. When applied to photovoltaic modules, it is crucial to consider the factors such as self-cleaning, transparency, anti-reflection, anti-icing, and durability.
The preparation methods suitable for self-cleaning coating of photovoltaic modules include LBL, CVD, sol–gel method, and plasma-etching technology. LBL, CVD and sol–gel technologies are all CVD-based surface treatment technologies, which have difficulty in precision control. Sol–gel method and LBL are both economical.
For PV modules, the suggested technique provides an accessible and low-cost automatic self-cleaning alternative. 1. Introduction Solar energy is a popular and cost-effective renewable resource, with solar panels being widely used in homes, offices, and industries.
