Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) technology is considered as a major drive for achieving exigent energy targets. All around the world, huge photovoltaic power plants for the purposes of energy generation at extremely competitive production cost are being constructed in the arid and desert areas. But this advantage of cost effectiveness seems to be disappeared due to the soiling issue of PV modules. The cleaned PV modules are therefore required in the areas where the panels are more likely to become dirty. The major concern related to the cleaning of PV modules is the strategy utilized for cleaning of extremely competitive PV modules. However, manually cleaning the surface of panels, traditionally, is an economically time exhaustive procedure. Moreover, tiny particles are difficult to remove through manual cleaning. Recently, various researches have been endeavoured towards development of water repelling surfaces with novel structures and viable applicability in self-cleaning solar panels. This chapter will discuss the recent developments in organic superhydrophobic coatings for PV modules. It will be comprised of four parts: Section 1 will highlight the basic concepts and principles of superhydrophobic phenomenon. Section 2 will describe the superhydrophobic coating methods. Organic coating materials and their applications for the self-cleaning of PV modules will be discussed in Sect. 3. Finally, the commercialization challenges and future prospects of self-cleaning coatings will be discussed in Sect. 4.
