The need
A significant amount of light is lost as it is reflected off the outer surface of solar modules. This not only reduces power output, but the glare and glint of reflected light prevents the use of high value and profitable dual-use areas for PV installations.
The solution
Phytonics has developed a bio-inspired coating with hierarchical micro- / nanotextures. It effectively prevents reflection, even where current state-of-the-art solutions fail to. This is achieved with a highly durable and outdoor-stable polymeric outer layer on the solar modules. The anti-glare solution is a self-adhesive polymer foil that can by laminated on new solar modules as well as retrofitted to existing ones.
The value proposition
