Honeywell helps improve efficiency, power output of solar panels

Article Type: New products From: Pigment & Resin Technology, Volume 39, Issue 2

Honeywell Electronic Materials has introduced a new material designed to improve the efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Designed to optimize light transmittance through glass that covers PV panels, Solarc transparent coating helps maximize PV module efficiency and power output. The coating also minimizes glare from glass, allowing PV panels to blend with surroundings. Compatible with spray, roller, curtain, slot-die and spin-on coating processes, the liquid-based coating protects glass in hot and humid conditions and enables anti-soiling and self-cleaning functionality that prevents dust accumulation.
