A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels self-cleaning and improve their power output. The dual-layer coating repels water, dust and dirt without reducing the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells. The breakthrough is reported in the academic journal Colloids and Surfaces A: Physiochemical and Engineering Aspects. “We…
