Water-surface PV plant power-boost coating
Water-surface modules cleaned by boat and platform now self-clean, cutting on-water work and risk.
The problem
High humidity and heavy bird activity leave droppings and water marks on the modules. Cleaning needs boats or work platforms — expensive and risky — a long-standing O&M problem for water-surface plants.
What we did
- Surveyed on-water access and planned zoned application
- Specialist cleaning to remove droppings, water marks and oil film
- Spray application from the work platform with controlled film thickness
- Ambient cure, then result confirmation and data collection
Results and value
The super-hydrophilic surface sheets rain and carries dirt away; bird droppings no longer bond stubbornly. On-water manual cleaning drops sharply while light transmission and output improve.

Hillside modules soiled by dust and bird droppings now self-clean in rain, with less manual cleaning and more output.

Desert PV plant power-boost coating
Sandstorms and dust hit desert plants hardest; the anti-static coating stops sand clinging so rain or a light rinse restores clean modules.
