Photocatalyst Construction Example: Anti-Soiling Measures for Solar Panels

Power generation efficiency improved by 7.7%! A case where the decline in power generation due to panel dirt was improved through photocatalytic treatment.

We would like to introduce a case study of photocatalytic application as a measure to prevent dirt on solar panels. On the rooftop of a spinning factory, photocatalytic treatment was applied to one of three panels of the same specification, resulting in a 7.7% improvement in power generation efficiency for the photocatalytic panel. The degradation of power generation due to panel dirt was improved through the photocatalytic application. Additionally, it has been verified that the light transmittance of glass increased by over 3%. In the PDF materials, you can also see examples where the introduction of cleaning machines significantly improved the cleaning condition before the photocatalytic application. 【Case Overview】 ■ Location: Rooftop of a spinning factory in Jimo City, Shandong Province, China ■ Area of application: 600m2 ■ Date of application: End of September 2017 ■ Conducted by our group company *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
