A method for enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic panels by preventing contamination through a novel surface treatment. The process involves a series of water-based cleaning steps followed by a specialized coating application. Therefore, there has been a recent surge in the development of multi-functional surface coatings for solar panels, aiming to impart properties like self-cleaning, anti-reflection, anti-fogging, anti-icing, self-stratifying, and self-healing. Introduction With the deterioration in global climate and environmental. Photovoltaic materials experience diverse corrosion mechanisms—from moisture-induced degradation of perovskites to electrochemical corrosion of metallization that can increase series resistance by up to 30% after 2,000 hours of damp heat exposure (85°C/85% RH). Cell interconn ct solder joint most susceptible to corrosion by acid.
