Abstract

Dust accumulation on the solar panel is the most common problem for solar panels. It effectively reduces the efficiency and life of the solar photovoltaic. To increase the efficiency of solar panel, superhydrophobic coatings were developed by silica nanoparticle sol prepared by using methyltrimethoxysilane as precursor and low-energy nanoparticle modification was done by using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on the surface. The coated surface was characterized by contact angle analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) of the coated surface. The analysis showed that the coatings were superhydrophobic having a nanostructural surface. These coatings on the solar panel showed better performance compared to uncoated panel, as no dust, water adhesion were observed on the surface after applying modified silica coating. The efficiency of the coated and uncoated surface was also analyzed and found to be better for coated surface.
