Energy Boosters Focusing on the energy sector, NanoPhos has already developed innovative energy-saving materials since its inception, always driven environmental awareness. The patent of SurfaShield ™ G, has been finalized by the RnD team, long time ago as an innovative self-cleaning coating based on the photocatalytic technology of titanium dioxide (TiO2) for photovoltaic installations. The main target is to • reduce the amount of sunlight reflected from the solar panels, • absorb more of the scattered light, • prevent the accumulation of dust, soot, or dirt. In this way, the super-hydrophilic composition of SurfaShield ™ G facilitates the cleaning of the photovoltaic surface, minimizing maintenance costs. In 2010 the product won the 1st Innovation Award at the Big5 Dubai International Exhibition. Solar PV panels performance improvement has been recorded after the application of SurfaShield® G as an active self-cleaning & anti-reflecting innovative nano-coating, in the harsh climate conditions at the Levant area, the Kingdom of Jordan. According to the recent paper of scientific Journal Energy, published by Elsevier, under the title of “Solar photovoltaic panels performance improvement using active self-cleaning nano technology of SurfaShield® G ” , SurfaShield® G, powered by NanoPhos has been tested on its contribution to power output improvement of solar panels. The “intelligent” nano material based on TiO2 has been tested for his self-cleaning and antireflecting properties. After continuous testing on the area of Jordan Kingdom for three months the findings showed a 20% and 2.3% improvement in the maximum power and efficiency, respectively. Conclusions of lab results The cleaning method was used to improve the performance of photovoltaic panels. SurfaShield® G was sprayed and tested on a 150W monocrystalline photovoltaic panel, compared to uncoated panels with the same characteristics, while the material properties have been verified by a specialized laboratory. SurfaShield® G showed excellent photocatalytic properties, resistance and super-hydrophilic properties. The transmission of the coated surface showed an improvement of 1.8% and 6.1% compared to the uncoated surface, respectively, when both surfaces were clean and dusty. The performance of the coated and uncoated panels in the climate conditions of the Kingdom of Jordan was monitored for 3 months in order to measure the extra power generated by the coating. The coated panel improved by 0.35% and 0.1% of the maximum power and efficiency, respectively, compared to the uncoated panel without any dust. After 3 months of dust accumulation on the panel, the gain was increased by up to 20% and up to 2.3% for maximum power and efficiency. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360544221001572   Method of application during the scientific study The method of cleaning the installation of photovoltaic collectors was completed and recorded by a certified scientific laboratory. SurfaShield® G was applied by the spray method on a 150W single crystal photovoltaic panel, while the results were recorded compared to uncoated panel surfaces of the same characteristics. SurfaShield® G showed excellent photocatalytic and super-hydrophilic properties as well as maximum durability. The transmission of the coated surface showed an improvement of 1.8% on a clean surface and 6.1% on a dusty surface, respectively, compared to the uncoated surface. The performance of the coated and non-coated panels in the demanding climatic conditions of Jordan was recorded and tested for a period of 3 months in order to measure the additional power produced after the surface was coated with SurfaShield® G. An improvement of 0.35% of the maximum power as well as 0.1% of the maximum efficiency was recorded, compared to the uncoated surfaces of the collectors, in the absence of dust. After 3 months of dust accumulation on the surface, a 20% increase in maximum power and a corresponding increase of 2.3% in efficiency were recorded. Reference List   Completed Projects   Project Description   Results after Application   China Qinghai Ge er mu Longyuan Group Solar Plant Application of SurfaShield G on sample area of 5KW out of Longyuan Group’s total area of 90MW project. 2.5% increase on the following day.
