Scientists from Poland's John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin have analyzed the optical and electrical parameters of textured glass in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems and have found that this kind of glass may considerably affect PV power generation and increase light reflection.
Traditional coatings (TiO 2, SiO 2) are hazardous and not eco-friendly. Laser surface texturing has potential for producing self-cleaning solar panels. Optimizing laser parameters is crucial for super-hydrophobic glass surfaces. More research needed on laser parameter impact on glass for solar panels.
The textured surfaces exhibit improved anti-icing and self-cleaning by preventing water and ice adhesion, thus extending the operational lifespan of panels in harsh climates (Chakraborty et al., 2021).
3.4. Transparency The evaluation of photovoltaic (PV) glass involves an assessment of its reflectance and transmittance in accordance with standards such as ASTM G173-03 (2012) – IEC 61853-1 Air Mass (AM) 1.5, particularly IEC 62805–2 (Method for measuring photovoltaic (PV) glass, 2017).
