A temperature increase of 1.8°F above 77°F reduces solar cell efficiency by 0.5%, whereas lowering the cell temperature by 18°F using a graphene transparent coating boosts efficiency by 5.0%.
Reflecting Infrared Radiation: Some transparent coatings are designed to reflect infrared (IR) radiation, which is responsible for transferring heat. These coatings are often made with materials like metal oxides or thin films that reflect infrared rays while allowing visible light to pass through. This keeps heat from the sun out, thus reducing the need for air conditioning in warmer months.
UV Radiation Blocking: Some coatings also block ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can contribute to both heat buildup and the fading of fabrics and furniture inside the building. By blocking UV rays, these coatings help maintain interior comfort and reduce cooling energy costs.
