What We Do
Photovoltaic modules suffer from reduced conversion efficiency because reflections from the top surface of the solar module’s protective glass reduce the light available to generate electricity. XeroCoat increases the conversion efficiency of solar modules without having to modify existing cell or module manufacturing methods.
At XeroCoat our goal is to make solar energy affordable for all. That means enabling you to get the most power out of the sun. Our high-performing
anti-reflective coating maximizes the light available to be converted to electricity and offers a cost-effective way to increase energy output.
How We Serve Our Customers
At XeroCoat we believe the solar module and glass manufacturers can be best served by having the freedom to choose a glass cover solution that combines the best glass with the best coating. XeroCoat's patented ant-reflective coating can be applied to any glass type and from any supplier, providing the flexibility to control costs and logistics in the supply chain.
We focus solely on
optical coatings for solar energy, which enables us to work closely with key partners in the solar energy supply chain.
Our patented, unique single-layer, liquid-coating process enables high volume, cost-effective manufacturing that integrates directly into our customers' manufacturing processes.
Our technology can be applied across all solar technologies from photovoltaic to solar thermal.
What Makes Our Technology High Performing
Invented at the University of Queensland, XeroCoat’s anti-reflective technology enables superior solar energy transmission for higher energy conversion efficiency.
A single-layer optical coating with a refractive index less than 1.3 enables the highest attainable optical performance for any type of glass or plastic. Click

XeroCoat's technology exceeds or meets current industry standards for environmental and mechanical durability. This translates into the long-term durability and reliability that is important for solar applications.
Continuous Technology Innovation
Investment in technology innovation is one of our core values. Our research and development groups based in Redwod City, California and in Brisbane, Australia, are an experienced team of scientist and engineers with deep expertise in coatings and solar energy. In addition, we are proud to be affiliated with the University of Queensland, an outstanding center of higher education and innovation. This relationship provides us with access to the University’s state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for materials characterization and formulation development.
Meeting Stringent Testing Standards
At our advanced testing and metrology laboratories located in our headquarters in Redwood City, California, and in Brisbane, Australia we subject our anti-reflective coaitng to long-term simulated and outdoor weathering, detailed measurement and analysis, and a full suite of industry standard tests.
