Technology Overview

XeroCoat's anti-reflective coating technology most cost-effectively increases the energy performance of solar systems without requiring modifications to existing cell or module manufacturing processes.

Benefits	Features	Metrics
Higher power and conversion efficiency	A single-layer optical coating enables superior solar energy transmission over the full solar spectrum and at broad incident angles to maximize the solar energy available for conversion into electricity.	Increases Wp by 3% Increases kWhr by 4%
Durable over the solar module lifetime	Rigorous testing to industry and company standards.	Meets IEC 61215 module test standards Exceeds current industry standards for abrasion resistance
High volume, low cost manufacturing	Unique patented process—a single layer liquid coating step followed by a low temperature curing step that integrates directly into the module manufacturing process.	Reduces cost/Wp
Environmentally friendly process	Non-toxic coating materials Recyclable coating materials Low energy manufacturing	High material utilization Quick energy payback
Enables broader market adoption of solar energy	Applicable across all current and emerging solar energy technologies: from photovoltaic—poly and mono-crystalline silicon, thin film, and concentrating—to solar thermal.	Cost effectively increases the percentage of solar energy converted to electricity
