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.
