THE CHALLENGE

Your panels collect sunlight.
They also collect dirt.

Dust, organic deposits and environmental contamination reduce the light reaching solar cells. Cleaning restores the surface. CERACOAT helps keep it cleaner between maintenance visits.

01

More light reaches the cells

Reduce soiling on the glass surface to help preserve the output of your PV installation.

02

Longer cleaning intervals

Less dirt build-up and a sun-and-rain cleaning cycle can allow significantly longer intervals between manual cleaning visits.

03

Protection from day one

Apply to an existing installation or discuss factory-coated modules for a new project.

THE CERACOAT EFFECT

A surface that works
with nature.

Sunlight activates the photocatalytic coating. Its super-hydrophilic surface allows rainwater to spread into a film, helping carry loosened contamination away.

How it works
01

Sunlight activates

Photocatalytic action helps break down organic dirt.

02

Rainwater spreads

Water forms a film across the coated surface.

03

Dirt rinses away

Rain helps remove loosened deposits.

LONG-LASTING SURFACE CARE

One application.
Up to 5 years of action.

CERACOAT is designed to remain active for up to 5 years. Reduced dirt build-up can significantly extend the intervals between manual cleaning visits.

Service life and cleaning intervals depend on application quality, rainfall, panel tilt and local contamination. Up to 5 years of coating activity does not mean a fixed 5-year cleaning interval.
