Coated solar glass Specialty glass with anti-reflective or conductive coatings to enhance PV efficiency and durability.
Coated solar glass is a type of glass that has a thin, transparent layer applied to its surface to enhance its performance. Anti-reflective (AR) coatings are the most common type, as they reduce the amount of light that is reflected from the glass surface, allowing more sunlight to be absorbed by the solar cells.
Other coatings, such as anti-soiling and self-cleaning coatings, are also being developed to reduce the need for maintenance and improve the long-term performance of solar panels.
