[IEEE 2018 IEEE 7th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC) (A Joint Conference of 45th IEEE PVSC, 28th PVSEC & 34th EU PVSEC) - Waikoloa Village, HI, USA (2018.6.10-2018.6.15)] 2018 IEEE 7th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC) (A Joint Conference of 45th IEEE PVSC, 28th PVSEC & 34th EU PVSEC) - Testing of an Anti-Soiling Coating for PV Module Cover Glass
摘要： Soiling of solar module cover glass can significantly reduce the module power output. Coatings can be applied to the cover glass surface to reduce adhesion and make the surfaces easier to clean. These coatings should be resilient and resistant to environmental damage. A hydrophobic anti-soiling coating was exposed to a variety of environmental and abrasion stress tests. The hydrophobic performance of the coating was measured by monitoring the water contact angle and the water roll off angle after exposure to a range of environmental and mechanical stress tests. The coating was shown to be highly resistant to damp heat and thermal cycling. However, it was degraded by UV exposure and damaged during abrasion tests. The coating was also exposed to outdoor testing to compare the laboratory results with real performance degradation.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) SolarPACES 2017: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems - Santiago, Chile (26–29 September 2017)] - Hydrophilic anti-soiling coating for improved efficiency of solar reflectors
摘要： The reflector is the first key component in the energy conversion process of concentrating solar technologies as any solar radiation that is not reflected by the mirror in the direction of the receiver is lost to the system. Due to the outdoor exposure, solar reflectors are subjected to constant soiling deposition (including dust, sand and/or dirtiness), which severely decreases the output power of the solar concentrating collectors, as it reduces the amount of radiation that can be reflected towards the receiver (associated to the absorption and scattering effects of light). Most of the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are installed in regions of high Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) with arid and semi-arid climate, involving the existence of an important amount of dust and sand in the ambient. Collector cleanliness represents one of the most costly expenses of the solar-plant operation and maintenance (O&M). Consequently, minimizing this cost is an important issue for the solar-plant economic feasibility. Anti-soiling coatings deposited on the surface of silvered-glass reflectors are a powerful tool that can help in repelling all sort of dust, sand and particles. This technological solution presents the following benefits: (i) the maintenance cost is driven down by reducing washing times, (ii) the water consumption is drastically diminished and (iii) the efficiency is increased since the average reflectance of the solar field remains higher. This work presents the behavior of a new anti-soiling coating with improved durability and high efficiency.
