Optical Coating Systems for High‐Efficiency Solar Cells
The significance of optical coating technology in producing high‐efficiency solar cell devices is critically presented in this chapter. The coating technology is the best technique in mitigating solar panel issues like dust accumulation, light reflection losses, microbial growth, wear due to scratches and heavy rainfall, snowing, fogging, and pollution. The exact working mechanism of numerous optical coatings, such as self‐cleaning superhydrophobic and super‐hydrophilic coatings, photocatalytic coatings, anti‐reflection coatings, antimicrobial coatings, anti‐icing coatings, antifogging coatings, panel surface stabilizing coatings against heavy rainfall and wear, self‐healing coatings, and multifunctional intelligent coatings is vividly explained using several technical explanatory mathematical models. Methodologies adopted to deposit these coatings are also specifically discussed. The way nature inspired numerous strategies for smart coating techniques is explained to be the strong foundation behind the emerging state‐of‐the‐art coating technologies reviewed. Apart from its myriad applications on Earth, the spirit of coating technology is demonstrated by even explaining its specialized smart dust removal application for solar panels attached to rovers on Mars planet. Further innovative strategies for advanced coatings like multi‐layered anti‐reflection coatings, luminescent downshifter coatings, and fano‐resonant optical coatings (FROCs) are also explored. Hence, this chapter covers the most recent developmental status of optical coating technologies for achieving high‐efficiency solar cells.
