Photovoltaic systems are a key component of the global energy transition and are increasingly being used in a wide range of applications – from large-scale solar parks and industrial installations to building-integrated solutions.
However, as systems increase in size and remain in operation for longer periods, the requirements for reliable, cost-effective and low-maintenance operation also increase. Dirt, dust, pollen and weather-related deposits can affect module surfaces and necessitate additional cleaning and maintenance measures.
Nanopool surface technologies support operators and project developers in maintaining the long-term efficiency of photovoltaic systems and optimising the effort involved in their maintenance and care.
Operators of photovoltaic systems face the challenge of ensuring stable operating conditions over long periods.
Typical challenges include:
Efficient maintenance processes can be an important factor in the economic viability of large-scale solar parks in particular.
Nanopool’s NP® Liquid Glass Technology enables transparent surfaces to be functionalised with an ultra-thin protective layer.
For photovoltaic modules, the technology supports:
The transparent protective layer has been developed to preserve the optical properties of the module surface and avoid adversely affecting the functionality of the photovoltaic system.
Nanopool technologies are suitable for applications including:
For large-scale ground-mounted installations, the focus is on efficient maintenance processes and reducing the need for manual cleaning.
Industrial and commercial businesses benefit from solutions designed to optimise surface care and provide long-term protection for system components.
For architecturally demanding applications, Nanopool supports the preservation of transparent surfaces and high-quality integration into buildings.
Functional surface solutions can also contribute to process optimisation in areas subject to particular environmental conditions, such as high dust levels or intensive use.
Typical areas of application include:
Nanopool technologies are based on scientifically tested surface functions and have been evaluated in various industrial applications.
The technology for photovoltaic applications has also been featured in specialist publications such as pv magazine.
