Coating Leads to Solar Panel Efficiency Increase

By Narsi Santhanam • Nov 23rd, 2009 • Category: Uncategorized

Representatives of a South Korean firm that has developed high-performance coating for solar cells, will demonstrate the technology to Indian photovoltaic module manufacturers. The coating will enhance a solar panel’s power generation capacity by 5%.

West Bengal Green Energy Development Corporation (WBGEDC) managing director SP Gon Chaudhuri said representatives of Japan-based Kenko Corporation and Chem-Well Co Ltd had recently met him and explained the new technology.

Explaining the technology, Gon Chaudhuri said that the coating will be a kind of spray on the solar panels. ” Once the coating is laid on the solar panels, the solar panel’s absorption and power generation capacity increases 5% more as it increases one of the active materials of the solar cells.”
