Researchers from Australia’s Western Sydney University have created a reflective coating for solar tiles to reduce the operating temperatures of tiles by up to 11 C, while increasing their electrical ...

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 ...

Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States have tested superhydrophobic self-cleaning, anti-soiling coatings that, if applied to photovoltaic modules, can purportedly ...

Traditionally relegated to roofs, photovoltaic (PV) panels tend to have a uniform appearance: large black or dark blue rectangular pieces of shiny glass with metal frames. Partly because dark colors ...

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has a layered structure of carbon rings formed in a hexagonal lattice structure. This arrangement of carbon in two-dimension gives properties such as high thermal ...
