Water-surface PV plant power-boost coating

Water-surface modules cleaned by boat and platform now self-clean, cutting on-water work and risk.

Plant typeWater-surface PV plant

Applied toFloating / pile-mounted modules

MethodWork platform + spray application

ProductFeibo PV power-boost coating

Background

The problem

High humidity and heavy bird activity leave droppings and water marks on the modules. Cleaning needs boats or work platforms — expensive and risky — a long-standing O&M problem for water-surface plants.

Scope of work

What we did

Surveyed on-water access and planned zoned application
Specialist cleaning to remove droppings, water marks and oil film
Spray application from the work platform with controlled film thickness
Ambient cure, then result confirmation and data collection

Results

Results and value

The super-hydrophilic surface sheets rain and carries dirt away; bird droppings no longer bond stubbornly. On-water manual cleaning drops sharply while light transmission and output improve.

Hillside PV plant power-boost coating

Hillside modules soiled by dust and bird droppings now self-clean in rain, with less manual cleaning and more output.

Desert PV plant power-boost coating

Sandstorms and dust hit desert plants hardest; the anti-static coating stops sand clinging so rain or a light rinse restores clean modules.
