The Problem:
Solar panels lose 15–20% efficiency due to dust, grime, and aging, requiring costly cleaning; India’s expansion is stymied by water and labor requirements.
The Solution:
TriNano’s solid-state inorganic/ceramic nano-coating, applied by a simple electro-deposition device, improves light trapping, is self-cleaning and anti-reflective—raising panel output up to 3.8%, reducing cleaning by 56%, and saving billions of liters of water.
