Reducing the effect of dust deposition on the generating efficiency
Super-hydrophobic films act on the generation efficiency of PV modules. Dust deposition on photovoltaic (PV) modules is related to environmental and weather conditions
The power generation performance of photovoltaic modules can be improved with the prepared film. For photovoltaic (PV) modules, dust accumulation is one of the reasons for the reduction of output power, while conventional cleaning is expensive and inefficient for large scale PV power plants.
The application fields of photovoltaic (PV) modules have gradually expanded from single ground power stations and rooftop distributed power stations to transportation, automobiles and boats [,,, ].
The polymer film-based perovskite photovoltaic module is an attractive next-generation alternative, as it is thin, light and flexible, and can be installed in locations where it is difficult to use silicon photovoltaic modules, such as low load-bearing roofs and office windows.
Applied to Toshiba's previously reported 703cm2 polymer film-based perovskite photovoltaic modules, the one-step meniscus coating method achieves a PCE of 15.1%, the world's highest ever for a polymer film-based large-area perovskite photovoltaic module. (Figure 2, right).
Toshiba estimates that the new perovskite photovoltaic modules would generate power equivalent to two-thirds of the annual power consumption by homes in Tokyo *4 if installed on a roof area of 164.9km 2, roughly equal to the roof surface area of all buildings in Tokyo *5 .
It is safe to assume that thin-film solar cells will play an increasing role in the future PV market. On the other hand, any newcomer to the production scene will, for obvious reasons, have a very hard time in displacing well-established materials and technologies, such as crystalline and amorphous silicon.
