“…However, in practical applications, severe soiling of photovoltaic panel surfaces may adversely affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency owing to light absorption and reection. [6][7][8][9][10] Thus, nding ways to keep the high efficiency of solar cells in practical conditions has been an urgent problem that needs to be solved.…”

“…In areas with limited access, sprinkler systems are used, while commercially available antisoiling coatings are employed elsewhere. [6][7][8][9] Commercial coatings like fluorinated silanes are often used for antisoiling purposes but have a disadvantage in durability, as they dissipate quickly on exposure to the atmosphere. So, hydrophobic coatings become expensive on periodic application.…”

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposites are studied as a green alternative to counteract solar panel soiling. CNC synthesized from acid hydrolysis is blended with PVA, and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is blended with powdered silica (SiO2) for surface modification to produce a transparent, hydrophobic, and durable film. The objective is to test the composite film for transparency, hydrophobicity, and durability to determine its suitability as a self‐cleaning solar panel cover. The composite film exhibits an average transmittance of 93% of the incident light in the solar photo‐voltaic working spectra (420–700 nm). Results show an average water contact angle (WCA) of 87.25°, and when subjected to photocatalytic and hydrolytic decay, the film shows minimal changes in the characteristic peaks of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) plot of PVA/CNC, confirming its durability. The study points out the prospect of PVA/CNC with PBT/SiO2 film as a transparent, hydrophobic, durable self‐cleaning covers against solar soiling and warranted further research to make suitable properties.
