Technical FAQs 4

What is solar panel protective coating?

Solar panel protective coating is a layer deployed on the solar panels’ surfaces to safeguard their efficiency and ensure their longevity. This coating is as crucial as the solar panels themselves. It serves as the first line of defense against the harsh elements of the environment and prevents corrosion, dust, and dirt accumulation.

Do solar panels need a protective coating?

The efficacy of a solar panel protective coating cannot be stressed enough in improving solar panel functionality. When solar panels are exposed in the open, dust and debris are bound to accrue on them, blocking sunlight and reducing the panels’ output power.

Why are photovoltaic solar cells coated with anti-reflective coatings?

The remaining solar rays are broken and reach the solar cell. Decreasing sunlight also causes a decrease in electrical power output. Thus, to overcome these problems, photovoltaic solar cells and cover glass are coated with anti-reflective and self-cleaning coatings.

What is solar SHARC® protective coating?

The Solar Sharc® protective coating, on the other hand, is redefining the boundaries of ingenuity in the domain of solar panel coatings. This easy-to-deploy, durable coating is designed to keep your solar panels free of dust and debris consistently. Solar Sharc® is a quantum leap in the field of solar panel protective coatings.
