An anti-reflection coating from a Silicon Valley start-up boosts a
module's efficiency without having to modify the manufacturing process.
An effective anti-reflection coating can improve the conversion
efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) module, by reducing the amount of
incident light that is reflected away by the module's protective cover
and lost. However, combining reflectivity with acceptable cost and
durability has proven difficult. California start-up XeroCoat has
developed a coating that could change this situation.
