Scientists in Egypt have created an anti-soiling coating for solar panels by mixing ethanol, deionized water, ammonium hydroxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate. They tested a coated panel outdoors for ...

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently developed a lightweight polymer coating for solar panels, designed to keep most gases from permeating the cells. A mere 60 nanometers ...

With cold weather and snow coating our roofs, you might wonder if solar panels are still effective this time of year. So this week on Possibly we’re answering your snowy solar panel questions.

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 ...

Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States have tested superhydrophobic self-cleaning, anti-soiling coatings that, if applied to photovoltaic modules, can purportedly ...

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 ...

The additive introduced into the solution for preparing the photoactive layer enhances Marangoni flow, thereby offsetting capillary flow caused by changes in the substrate’s surface energy due to ...

What should you avoid using to clean your solar panels? Let's start here. Certain cleaning products and cleaning methods can damage the solar panel coating. Some cleaning solutions and harsh chemicals ...
