SurfaShield™ nextG is a transparent, permanent, innovative, nano-driven coating that reduces the cleaning and maintenance effort of the solar glass of photovoltaic (PV) panels or solar heaters. Based on nanoparticles of photocatalytic titanium dioxide, SurfaShield™ nextG expresses anti-static properties that prevent dust particles adhere to the glass surface. Therefore, dust accumulation or soiling is controlled, and maintenance needs are reduced. The surface becomes hydrophilic for easy water rinsing. SurfaShield™ nextG also enhances the anti-reflective properties of glass.
