Screen printing is a bulk coating process that is used in thin-film solar cells such as Cadmium-Telluride (CdTe), third-generation solar cells such as dye-sensitized solar cells and contact depositions in silicon based solar cells. Screen printing mainly consists of a frame around a silk-based screen and an either a metallic or a wooden squeegee. Figure

As photovoltaic (PV) panels are installed outdoors, they are exposed to harsh environments that can degrade their performance. PV cells can be coated with a protective material to protect them from the environment. However, the coated area has relatively small temperature differences, obtaining a sufficient database for training is difficult, and detection in

The photovoltaic energy system generates electricity depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cell, and the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar cells in a solar panel decreases due to factors such as soil and organic dirt. At the same time, sunlight is refracted and reflected due to the reflective effect of the cover glass surface, even if the

When sunlight shines on the photovoltaic panel, part of the visible light will be reflected, and the rest will be converted and utilized. Therefore, the transparency and anti-reflection of the self-cleaning coatings applied on photovoltaic modules cannot be ignored.
The self-cleaning coating has attracted extensive attention in the photovoltaic industry and the scientific community because of its unique mechanism and high adaptability. Therefore, an efficient and stable self-cleaning coating is necessary to protect the cover glass on the photovoltaic panel. There are many self-cleaning phenomena in nature.
Apart from these methods, lithography, screen printing, and roll-to-roll methods have been used in a few applications. However, the high temperature applied to the coatings on solar cells disrupts the PV properties of the solar cells. The purpose of the application of the heat is to ensure that the coating adheres to the surface.
Photovoltaic and aging performance were examined through the short-circuit current density values and colour change of the composite. Decrease in the initial photovoltaic performance of the modules was caused by the coating deposition.
These reflection losses can be addressed by the use of anti-reflection (AR) coatings, and currently around 90% of commercial PV modules are supplied with an AR coating applied to the cover glass , . The widespread use of AR coatings is a relatively recent development.
The coating is superhydrophobic, with a contact angle of approximately 159° and a transmittance of 85% (Fig. 12). Thus, when applied to photovoltaic modules, the best coating thickness can be obtained by controlling the number of coating layers. This method is easy to implement and cost-effective.
