Problem/Opportunity
Fuel shortages, record prices, slowing economies and rising poverty result in the very first energy crisis that is truly global. Following disrupted supply chains, bad weather and low investment, this major global problem is worsening even further due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, thus solar panels and general turn to green energy are not just an alternative, but an emergency solution.
One of the panels’ most common problems is that they are severely affected by environmental factors like moisture, dust and UV radiation. They get covered with mud, dirt and debris, while over time bird droppings and pollen also accumulate on them, reducing their efficiency.
Our startup offers solar cells with an innovative nanotechnology coating in order not to get covered, providing a more efficient alternative to the competition. Manufacturing, selling and installing self-cleaning solar panels is a golden opportunity for a profitable business venture with a major positive impact on the environment.
Solution & Product
Our startup satisfies the rising international need for solar energy and deals with the energy crisis by developing an innovative active self-cleaning surface system, using a combination of mechanical vibration and microsized features, that removes contaminants from solar modules’ surfaces by means of an automatic water-saving labor-free process.
The output efficiency of a solar module can be degraded over time by soiling (dust/dirt/mud/pollen/ bird droppings accumulation) on top of the cover glass. We have created a functional prototype and changed the way photovoltaic systems work.
We provide a brand-new improved generation of self-cleaning systems with nanocoatings, which are ultra-thin protective layers of nanoparticles, either polymerized in-situ or prior to application, built upon solar panels’ surfaces, that enhance the durability, efficiency, and lifespan of solar cells. We focus on managing the main deficiencies of conventional panels by replacing them with self-cleaning ones.
