DOCUMENTS & RESOURCES:

SELF-CLEANING COATING INCREASES PV PANEL ENERGY YIELD BY UP TO 9%

  • INCREASES ENERGY YIELD BY UP TO 9%

    Solar Guard-coated panels have shown an increase in transparency by 3%, and can increase each treated panel’s energy yield up to 9%.

  • BREAKS DOWN DIRT AND DUST

    Solar Guard absorbs surrounding UV light to crate a chemical reaction that works to break down growth and dirt build-up on PV panels. Let our nano-formulation do the heavy-lifting for you!

  • REDUCES CLEANING BY UP TO 65%

    Frequent professional cleaning costs can add up quickly. With Solar Guard, we’ve seen up to a 65% reduction in cleaning frequency, which saves money, and valuable resources! Cleaning is also easier without the need for harsh chemicals!

  • EASY TO APPLY

    Without the need for thinners or primers, Solar Guard is best applied to a clean, dry surface using a low-pressure pump-spray system without dilution.

  • EASY TO CLEAN

    Without the need for thinners or primers, Solar Guard is best applied to a clean, dry surface using a low-pressure pump-spray system without dilution.

  • CLEANS SURROUNDING AIR

    Solar Guard breaks down Nox pollutants and VOCs in the air. Every 250 sq.ft. of Pure Guard-treated surface cleans the surrounding air as much as 1 adult tree.

COMPATIBLE SUBSTRATES

  • Photovoltaic (PV) Panels

  • OVERVIEW

    Solar Guard is an alcohol-based photocatalytic self-cleaning protectant, intended for use as a protective topcoat over PV panels. Solar Guard is nano-formulated to absorb surrounding UV light to create a chemical reaction that works to break down
    organic growth and dirt build-up.

    As a semiconducting catalyst, Solar Guard nanoparticles are light-activated to produce short-living oxidizing compounds: oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. Treated surfaces become superhydrophilic and pollutants are easily washed away.

    Solar Guard also acts as an antistatic agent, preventing sand and dust accumulation while enhancing anti-fogging properties of the glass surface. PV panels treated with Solar Guard have shown an increase in transparency up to 3% and an increase in energy yield up to 9%.
