SolarSkin

RESTORATION AND PROTECTION KIT FOR PV MODULES

ANTISTICKING TO DEPOSITS AND POLLUTION.
Based on the patented HyDRoPTM system, the leading technology for permanent surface protection.

SolarSkin increases energy efficiency of PV systems and prevents glass deterioration caused by deposits and corrosion. Self-cleaning in rain is enhanced, too.

GLASS RESTORATION AND INVISIBLE PROTECTION FOR PV MODULES

Benefits

SolarSkin is a pioneering, permanent protective coating system based on latest generation nanotechnology. It restores stained glass of PV modules to its pristine “like-new” appearance and converts it to long-lasting self-cleaning glass. As a result, the energy output of the system is substantially increased.

1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS IMPROVED BY AT LEAST 4% AND UP TO 30%
2. RESTORATION OF STAINED GLASS
3. REPELS POLLUTION
4. DUST AND CONTAMINANTS ARE SELF-CLEANED
5. INHIBITS GLASS CORROSION
6. CLEANING TIME IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED
7. PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT

Content: From 3 to 30 liters | Coverage: ~15 ml/m2

What is  the hyDRoPTM system?

The (HyDRoPTM) system is a patented technology of BFP. It is an innovative protective coating system for glass surfaces.
(HyDRoPTM) effectively combines the properties of both inorganic and organic materials within a multi-functional non-stick (easy-to-clean) invisible coating.
Activation of the surface promotes the development of a large number of free active sites, on which the protective coating is anchored. The latter shares electrons with the substrate and ultimately, a permanent covalent bond (about 230 Kilo-joule per mol) between them is formed. As a result, the coating exhibits an unparallel resistance to chemicals, temperature changes, UV and abrasion.
(HyDRoPTM) is a trademark of BFP Advanced Technologies.

Packaging

SolarSkin FOR SOLAR WATER HEATERS is a non-stick coating system based on latest generation nanotechnology. It consists of two liquid mixtures, which are applied sequentially. The surface should be absolutely clean prior to application.
SolarSkin [1] chemically activates the surface, while SolarSkin [2] is the coating solution. After application, the surface should be buffed with a clean dry cloth to remove traces of excess liquid. It will take about 24 hours for the coating to obtain its maximum strength.
