Get StartedBecause of its compatibility with glass, such methods are particularly conducive to the formation of transparent and super-hydrophobic films on the glass surface (Yan et al. 2011). Therefore, the sol–gel method is often used for self-cleaning of photovoltaic glass cover.
However, PV modules are open to dust, grime and other contaminations which get deposited on their surface causing reduction in transmittance and hence their efficiency reduces. It is therefore required to clean the glass surface of PV modules time to time either manually by labor or using some special arrangements such as automated systems.
Traditional cleaning methods, including mechanical method, manual method, and electrostatic method, can temporarily clean photovoltaic modules. However, dust still accumulates on the surface of photovoltaic modules after a period of time.
Photovoltaic (PV) glass stands at the forefront of sustainable building technology, revolutionizing how we harness solar energy in modern architecture. This innovative material transforms ordinary windows into power-generating assets through building-integrated photovoltaics, marking a significant breakthrough in renewable energy integration.
Photovoltaic power generation is one of the most popular ways to use solar energy. When sunlight reaches the photovoltaic panel, it will first pass through a glass layer, and the glass layer’s transmission coefficient greatly impacts the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
In addition, water is the most common liquid substance in nature, and it provides good self-cleaning conditions for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces of PV glass. Therefore, the self-cleaning abilities of hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces were greatly increased by increasing the liquid droplet volume and the surface tension. 4. Conclusion
