Most uncoated photovoltaic (PV) panels lose about 4% of their potential power output due to surface light reflection. Honeywell SOLARC is a transparent coating material that improves light transmittance through the glass that covers PV panels, thus increasing the PV module’s efficiency and power output. This coating also significantly reduces glare from the glass, allowing the panels to better blend in with their surroundings. It is compatible with many coating processes, including spray, roller, curtain, slot-die and spin-on coating. Unlike traditional formulations, SOLARC has shelf life of at least six months, and does not require mixing of two components prior to application.
