Honeywell Electronic Materials announced a new material that improves the efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels.
The new product, called Honeywell SOLARC, is a transparent coating material that improves the light transmittance through the glass that covers PV panels, thus increasing the PV module efficiency and power output. This coating also significantly reduces glare from the glass, allowing the PV panels to better blend with its surroundings.
“SOLARC has already demonstrated the highest efficiency of any anti-reflective coatings, or ARCs, commercially available today,” said Dmitry Shashkov, marketing director for Honeywell Electronic Materials. “This is another example of Honeywell applying its materials expertise, developed from 50 years of innovation for the semiconductor industry, to meet the challenges of the PV industry.”
