Why Ceracoat™?

Say Goodbye to Dirty Solar Panels!

 

Are your solar panels not performing at their best? The culprit might be the layer of dirt and grime that accumulates on them over time. Bird droppings, algae, moss, lichen, tree sap, soot, dust—the list goes on. 

 

These unwanted guests can obstruct sunlight from reaching the cells, resulting in decreased efficiency and financial returns for solar panel owners. Even rain can’t fully cleanse the panels. But fear not! We understand the importance of keeping solar panels pristine, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Ceracoat™, bringing cutting-edge Swiss nanotechnology to the UK. Developed by the esteemed scientist Dr. Elio Keller, Ceracoat™ is a game-changer for both residential and commercial solar installations.

Understanding Ceracoat™ and Its Impact on Solar Panel Performance

Application, Maintenance, and Sustainability: Your Ceracoat™ Queries Answered

Absolutely, keeping solar panels clean is crucial for maintaining their optimal performance. Accumulation of dirt, dust, bird droppings, pollen, and other contaminants on the surface of solar panels can significantly reduce their efficiency. When these substances cover the photovoltaic cells, they block sunlight from reaching them, leading to a decrease in energy production and hot spots.

Regular cleaning ensures that sunlight can penetrate the panels effectively, maximising the conversion of solar energy into electricity. Clean panels operate more efficiently and contribute to higher energy yields, which is essential for getting the most out of your solar investment.

Moreover, a clean surface helps prevent potential long-term damage to the panels. For instance, bird droppings and other debris can be corrosive, and allowing them to accumulate over time may result in a decrease in the lifespan of the panels.

YES ABSOLUTLEY!!!! however it is vital to clean the solar panels before applying Ceracoat Ceramic Glass SC sealing. Ensuring that the panels are clean and free of dirt, dust, and debris will help the coating adhere properly to the surface and maximise its effectiveness in protecting the panels and enhancing their light output. Proper surface preparation is crucial for the long-term performance of the coating and the self-cleaning process it provides.

The environmental benefits of using self-cleaning solar panels include Increased efficiency, reduced water consumption and lower maintenance costs. Overall, self-cleaning solar panels offer several environmental benefits, including increased efficiency, reduced water consumption, lower maintenance costs, and a reduced environmental impact.

These benefits contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to solar energy production.

Actually in the case of Ceracoat, the opposite is true.

Advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of high-efficiency solar panel nano coatings, such as Ceracoat, which use materials like Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to create anti-reflective properties.

These coatings allow solar panels to absorb more sunlight by reducing the reflection rate of sunlight. When sunlight passes through the air with a refractive index of approximately 1, it hits the solar panel surface, often made of silicon, with a higher refractive index of around 4. The abrupt change in refractive index causes some sunlight to be reflected away, reducing the panel’s light absorption.

To address this issue, a nanocoating with an intermediate refractive index, such as Ceracoat, is applied to the solar panel surface. This helps reduce the reflection of light, enabling solar panels to take in more sunlight and improve their overall efficiency!

Many solar panel manufacturers have recognised the benefits of nanotech coatings in terms of reducing maintenance costs and increasing efficiency. They have started to incorporate these coatings into their products to provide a self-cleaning solution for their customers.

According to some manufacturers, the nanotech coating can help reduce the need for manual cleaning by up to 90%. This is because the coating is designed to repel dust, dirt, and other debris that can accumulate on the surface of the solar panel over time.

Ceracoat testing on Canadian Solar PV modules has reportedly led to increases in efficiencies nearing 20%. This improvement demonstrates the potential benefits of incorporating self-cleaning nano-coatings into solar panel production, as they can help reduce maintenance costs and enhance overall performance.. This is because the coating allows more sunlight to pass through the panel, which can increase its overall performance.

 These coatings enhance performance, reduce cleaning requirements, and contribute to global sustainability goals. If you are concerned about the warranty on your solar panels being voided, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly. They can provide information on their stance regarding ceramic nano coatings and any potential impact on the warranty.

 It’s exciting when industry leaders recognise the potential of new innovations like this to push solar technology forward.

Self-cleaning technology will significantly improve the efficiency of solar panels. When solar panels are covered with dirt, dust, or other debris, it reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar cells. This, in turn, reduces the amount of electricity that the solar panels can produce. By keeping the solar panels clean, the self-cleaning technology ensures that the maximum amount of sunlight can reach the solar cells, which  increases the efficiency of the solar panels.

The expected lifespan of a nano tech coating on solar panels can vary depending on the environmental conditions.

Around 4 Mechanical cleanings with brushes destroys the coating. For example, if a system is coated and never cleaned, the coating will last ten years. If a system is mechanically cleaned every two years (arid desert with little rainfall) the coating will last 8 years.

 Ceracoat™ eliminates the need for expensive and frequent cleaning, reducing associated costs. Additionally, by maximising the efficiency of solar panels, it enhances electricity output, providing immediate cost savings and a rapid return on investment.
