Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can be a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can ...

Researchers from Australia’s Western Sydney University have created a reflective coating for solar tiles to reduce the operating temperatures of tiles by up to 11 C, while increasing their electrical ...

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a simple and affordable hydrogel coating that not only enhances the heat dissipation in solar panels for cooling their ...

Swiss manufacturer Megasol launched, last year, a photovoltaic tile that is claimed to be compatible with a wide range of roof tiles. Megasol is offering three standard formats that can be combined ...

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has a layered structure of carbon rings formed in a hexagonal lattice structure. This arrangement of carbon in two-dimension gives properties such as high thermal ...
