Utilization of Nano thin films for solar cell self-cleaning.

Abstract

Abstract The present work for preparing titanium dioxide as thin film to improve the PV system and put alternatives to manual cleaning with no loss in the efficiency. Using self-cleaning coatings instead of cleaning chemicals on PV panels is a very suitable process in the application and cost. A set of experiments were conducted on a laboratory scale by using the coating layer. The results showed that using pre-coated with titanium dioxide on PV panels is more effective than no coating layer. As increasing photo catalytic activity and the stability of the coated layer are more effective.
