A pv plant whose panels are coated with TA2210 in Beverstedt, Germany (for a better demonstration of the efficacy of, 2 modules were left uncoated – see bottom-line, to the right). The photos were taken after a heavy rain shower. As can easily be seen, the coating keeps the surface clean and dry – contrary to the non-coated panels. Furthermore the coated modules dry up very fast due to the hydrophilic surfaces
The plant became operative on April 25, 2012
Design:
4 separate segments of a 16 modules (3,68 KwP)
2 segments of a 16 modules installed on Jul. 23rd, 2009
2 segments of a 16 modules installed on Oct. 20th,2009
1 segment (16 modules) were coated with TA2210 on Oct. 20th, 2009.
In autumn 2009, in Ennepetal/Germany an existing PV plant which consists of segments with 16 single modules was coated with. As all four segments have separate wiring and connections, it was possible to separately record the energy yield of the four modules on a weekly basis.
The modules which were installed on Oct 20, 2009 came from Antaris Solar Co. As the modules' surfaces were slightly contaminated with silicone oil, they all had to be cleaned by means of an abrasive pre-cleaner (NR1304 Cleaner abrasiv) prior to coating. Then, the modules were manually coated with TA2210 by means of HVLP equipment. Material consumption: approx. 40 ml/m². Finally and prior to installation, the modules were dried in a heated assembly hall for 24 hours.
Data recording and transmission was done by the customer. As expected, in the summer period the energy yield was significantly higher than in the winter period. Due to snowfalls in winter 2009, periodically the yield was even lower.
The facade has been renovated, painted and then coated in the shop floor (ground floor on the left). The photos were recorded well six years after the coating. In the area of the uncoated surfaces (first floor upwards as well as ground floor on the far right), the beginning soiling is visible which is especially noticeable at the transition coated/uncoated (light/dark) (see detail).
The facades of the family house (right side) and the cultivation (left side) were heavily infested with algae. After cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner, the right facade was treated with a commercially available biocide, the left part primed with TP2221 and coated with TA2207. After nearly 2½ years, the superiority of the product is evident. While the right façade already suffers from algae, the façade coated with looks like "freshly painted". Nothing can be seen of algae, even though the floor is very clearly affected in front of the coated wall.
