Enhance the performance of photovoltaic solar panels by a self-cleaning and hydrophobic nanocoating
Abstract The photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are negatively impacted by dust accumulation. The variance in dust density from point to point raises the risk of forming hot spots. Therefore, a prepared PDMS/SiO2 nanocoating was used to reduce the accumulated dust on the PV panels' surface. However...
