Solar panel protection

Less dust and water retention. Easier panel cleaning.

A nano protective layer changes how the panel surface behaves: dust, grease and water bond less strongly, so dirt is easier to remove. The layer is UV-resistant, invisible and doesn't change the look of the panel.

How it works

A layer that won't let dirt bond

The coating bonds to the glass surface of the panel in an ultra-thin layer. On such a surface water doesn't spread out but gathers into droplets that slide off and carry some of the dirt with them.

For a photovoltaic system that means simpler maintenance and better preservation of the panel surface over time — dirt is less likely to settle, and cleaning takes less effort.

* Figures for efficiency and durability (e.g. a percentage or number of years) come from the manufacturer's technical documentation and depend on location, tilt and soiling — they are only stated with a confirmed source.

Advantages

What the layer changes on the panel

The effect depends on the panel type, the location and the conditions — we propose the system after an application assessment.

Water settles less

  • A hydrophobic surface — droplets slide off instead of spreading out
  • Fewer water marks and drying stains

Dust and grease adhere less

  • Oleophobic properties — greasy deposits bond less strongly
  • Dirt is removed more easily and with fewer cleaning agents

The layer is invisible and UV-resistant

  • Doesn't change the look or transparency of the panel glass
  • Resistant to UV radiation and outdoor conditions
Who it's for

Where it is most often used

* Before application we check the panel type, the condition of the surface and the conditions on site. If a panel has a factory coating or a manufacturer's warranty, that is taken into account before any intervention.
