Recent reports indicate that a significant impact of accumulation of dust and other debris on the surface of photovoltaic modules causes a decrease in the incoming solar irradiance, with typical power losses of 10-15%, or even up to 50% in some cases reported. Durable highly repellent coatings based on advanced, nanostructured, low energy materials can provide a permanent solution to prevent the accumulation of dirt on the transparent top layer of a PV system. The primary objective of the SOLplus project is to determine the technological, commercial, and economic viability of such a low surface energy coating for use in the solar PV market. The main technology and commercial objectives for this product will be to deliver a durable coating that prevents the accumulation of dirt/dust on glass and plastic solar substrates, is cost-effective in its application method, and demonstrates real and tangible benefits to the end user (maintenance-free and avoidance of expensive cleaning procedures). Technology validation for the solar PV market and a refinement of our assessment of the market opportunity during the project will allow for a better focus on the market needs

最近的报告表明，灰尘和其他碎片在光伏模块表面上的累积的显著影响导致入射太阳辐照度的降低，典型的功率损失为10- 15%，在某些情况下甚至高达50%。基于先进的纳米结构低能量材料的耐用高防水涂层可以提供永久性解决方案，防止灰尘在光伏系统的透明顶层上积聚。SOLplus项目的主要目标是确定这种低表面能涂层在太阳能光伏市场中的技术、商业和经济可行性。该产品的主要技术和商业目标将是提供一种耐用的涂层，防止污垢/灰尘在玻璃和塑料太阳能基板上的积累，在其应用方法中具有成本效益，并向最终用户展示真实的和有形的好处（免维护和避免昂贵的清洁程序）。太阳能光伏市场的技术验证和项目期间对市场机会的评估的完善将使我们能够更好地关注市场需求
