Researchers from Egypt’s Beni-Suef University and the German University in Cairo (GUC) have proposed a dust mitigation technique for solar arrays in particularly dry, desert conditions. The method is ...

Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a low-cost hydrogel coating that cools solar panel ...

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a simple and affordable hydrogel coating that ...

Germany’s Fraunhofer FEP has unveiled a dirt-repellent coating for solar panels. The material is reportedly able to acquire superhydrophilic properties at night and wash away the dirt through the ...

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 ...

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a simple and affordable hydrogel coating that ...

Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can be a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can ...

With their latest work, Crozier and his colleagues demonstrated what could be a promising solution. Making fine-precision measurements on single nanowires coated with an amorphous silicon layer, the ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...
