 The researchers have developed a new type of coating that can reduce the amount of dust and ice on solar panels, making them more efficient and reliable. This coating uses two types of polysiloxane compounds that have both isophobic and hydrophobic properties. These compounds allow the coating to repel water and ice, while still allowing light to pass through it. This makes the coating more effective than other coatings currently used, which can cause damage from ice build-up and dust accumulation.
