Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, and particularly relates to a durable coating suitable for anti-fouling of photovoltaic panels, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that directly converts solar energy into electrical energy. In recent years, it has received wide attention due to its renewable and environmentally friendly characteristics. Distributed photovoltaic power generation can be flexibly designed and deployed according to different sites and requirements, and is suitable for various types of buildings and facilities such as residential, commercial, and industrial. However, different sites bring more environmental impact factors, which affect the photovoltaic power generation efficiency, especially the problem of dust accumulation on the surface area of photovoltaic panels. The surface dust accumulation will block light, resulting in a reduction in power generation; the dust accumulation will also cause the hot spot effect of the photovoltaic panel, making the local temperature overheat, which not only reduces the power generation, but also has a fire risk. Therefore, how to effectively maintain the cleanliness of photovoltaic panels is a key issue in the application of photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] Currently, in order to keep the surface of photovoltaic panels clean, methods such as natural rainfall, high-pressure water flushing, and manual scrubbing are mainly used. However, these methods have disadvantages such as high cost, low cleaning degree, and easy damage to photovoltaic panels. Some photovoltaic power stations are relatively remote and often encounter harsh environments such as high temperature and dust. Frequent cleaning not only has problems such as difficult water supply and high cost, but also reduces the lifespan of photovoltaic panels, making the operation cost of photovoltaic power generation remain high.

[0004] Studies have found that the waxy layer and micro-nano protrusion structure on the surface of lotus leaves endow it with self-cleaning ability. Among them, the low surface energy on the surface of lotus leaves is generated by the surface waxy layer, while the micro-nano structure plays a role in reducing the contact area between water droplets and the surface. In real life, in addition to lotus leaves, the surfaces of some animals and plants, such as the wings of butterflies, cabbage leaves, and rice leaves, have self-cleaning effects. The reason is that an air layer is formed at the solid-liquid interface of their surface microstructure, so the surface is difficult to be wetted by water droplets.

[0005] Based on the above principles, a variety of photovoltaic panel coatings have been developed. However, the existing coatings have the following problems: Firstly, the self-cleaning efficiency is insufficient. The deposition of pollutants such as sand, dust, rain, snow, and bird droppings leads to a decrease in light transmittance, and the annual power generation loss exceeds 15%. The existing coatings are difficult to cope with highly viscous sand and dust (such as the "mud rain" in Xinjiang region), and the cleaning cost is high. The uneven distribution of pollutants may cause local hot spots, resulting in reverse power consumption of the components. Secondly, the durability and lifespan are short. The coatings are prone to failure. The lifespan of existing coatings (such as TiO2) is generally only 2 - 3 years, while the designed lifespan of photovoltaic modules is 25 years, so they need to be frequently replaced, increasing the operation and maintenance costs. The mechanical properties are insufficient. The existing coatings have weak abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, and are prone to wear, cracking, or chemical corrosion after long-term exposure to the outdoor environment, resulting in performance degradation. Moreover, the environmental differences in different regions are large (such as dry and hot sand and dust, high humidity and acid rain, snow accumulation in high latitudes). It is difficult for existing coatings to simultaneously meet multiple requirements such as hydrophobic / hydrophilic, antistatic, and antifreeze-thaw. The particle friction in sandstorms, the chemical erosion of acid rain, the growth of molds and algae under high temperature and high humidity, etc. will all accelerate the failure of the coatings. Finally, the high cost restricts popularization: The imported coatings are expensive, and the equipment investment for some technologies (such as magnetron sputtering) is large, resulting in high application costs. The construction technology is complex: The existing coatings require high-temperature curing or complex processes (such as CVD), and it is difficult to adapt to large-scale on-site construction, restricting the promotion speed.

[0006] To solve these problems, a durable coating material suitable for anti-fouling of photovoltaic panels is needed. This coating can not only reduce the cleaning frequency of photovoltaics, but also improve the overall economic benefits of the photovoltaic system. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a durable coating suitable for anti-fouling of photovoltaic panels, its preparation method and application. This anti-fouling coating is based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Through molecular structure design and optimization of the spraying and curing process, a layer of anti-fouling nano-coating is formed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, effectively reducing the dust accumulation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, reducing the cleaning frequency, and significantly improving the efficiency and lifespan of the photovoltaic power generation system. At the same time, the coating does not contain harmful materials, reducing environmental damage, and is an environmentally friendly material. This coating helps to solve the problems of dust accumulation and maintenance on the surface of photovoltaic panels, and comprehensively improves the overall performance and economic benefits of the photovoltaic system.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] The present invention provides a preparation method for a durable coating suitable for anti-fouling of photovoltaic panels. In the PDMS / TiO2 / SiO2, it increases the contact angle of the substrate surface, thereby providing a superhydrophobic surface and a dust-proof micro-nano structure; the coupling of TiO2 and quantum dots can enhance the photocatalytic self-cleaning ability, and at the same time, the quantum dots can also be used as a medium to detect the temperature and humidity changes inside the substrate; the addition of nano-ZnO can effectively damage the cell membrane of bacteria and kill microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger, thereby enhancing the antibacterial performance of the coating; in addition, the added plant essential oil can repel mosquitoes and prevent the attachment of eggs on the substrate in hot and humid areas; the BTA-PDA complex can inhibit metal electrochemical corrosion. This coating can improve the anti-fouling performance of photovoltaic panels in various environments, reduce the influence of pollutants on the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels, and significantly improve the overall efficiency, stability and economic benefits of photovoltaic power generation.

[0052] The present invention also provides a durable coating prepared by using the above preparation method for a durable coating suitable for anti-fouling of photovoltaic panels. This coating can form a special anti-fouling microstructure composed of PDMS / TiO2 / SiO2 on the photovoltaic panel. The design of this microstructure aims to improve the anti-pollution ability of the photovoltaic panel, and can effectively prevent the deposition of pollutants such as dust, bird droppings and oil stains, so as to keep the photovoltaic panel clean. Through the composite functional coating, targeted protection measures can be provided according to different types of pollutants. This coating can form a protective film on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, reduce the adhesion between pollutants and the photovoltaic panel, and thus reduce the risk of the photovoltaic panel being polluted. The application of this anti-fouling coating can not only effectively reduce the cleaning frequency of the photovoltaic panel, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the photovoltaic system, but also significantly improve the long-term utilization rate and resource utilization rate of photovoltaic energy. When the surface of the photovoltaic panel remains clean, its photoelectric conversion efficiency will be greatly improved, thereby enhancing the economy of photovoltaic power generation. Specifically, the reduction of the maintenance frequency means the saving of operating costs, and the long-term high-efficiency power generation will also bring considerable benefits in terms of overall energy efficiency and economic return.

Its production process has been optimized, which can simplify the manufacturing steps while ensuring functionality, thereby improving production efficiency. More importantly, the components of this coating do not contain harmful components, which means that it will not cause a burden on the environment during use and disposal, and can be said to be a more environmentally friendly choice than existing coatings. This makes this material not only have good performance in maintaining photovoltaic panels, but also meet the environmental requirements of sustainable development in modern society, reflecting the perfect combination of technology and environmental protection.

[0193] Specific implementation cases are as follows:

[0194] The implementation of the present invention demonstrates the application process and functions of the coating material through three application scenarios. These three scenarios are: 1. Antibacterial, insect-repellent, and corrosion-inhibiting; 2. Improvement of photocatalytic efficiency; 3. Multiple complex influencing conditions.

[0195] (1) Scenario one: Antibacterial, insect-repellent, and corrosion-inhibiting

[0196] For a certain photovoltaic power plant, due to high temperature and humidity (annual average humidity of 78% and above 35°C in summer), problems such as attachment of photovoltaic panel eggs, mold growth, and salt spray corrosion occurred. A PDMS / TiO2 / SiO2 multifunctional coating solution was adopted, integrating a superhydrophobic surface (contact angle ≥ 150°), photocatalytic self-cleaning (full-spectrum response quantum dots + TiO2), antibacterial and antifungal (nano-ZnO + plant essential oil microcapsules), and long-term corrosion protection (BTA-PDA complex) quadruple protection system. After implementation, the power generation efficiency increased by 18%, the first-year attenuation rate dropped to 1.5%, the cleaning cycle was extended from once a month to once a quarter, and the salt spray life reached 5,000 hours. At the same time, the use of chemical cleaners was reduced by 80%, promoting a 40% reduction in regional operation and maintenance costs. The coating provides an efficient protection solution for photovoltaic power plants in humid and hot regions through fluorescence quantum dot intelligent monitoring and acid rain resistance (pH 2.0), high temperature resistance (Tg ≥ 120°C) adaptation technologies.

[0197] (2) Scenario 2: The operating scenario has stubborn dust accumulation conditions such as oil stains

[0198] For a certain photovoltaic power plant in Gansu, due to high dust content (annual average concentration of PM10 is 300 μg / m 3 ) and "mud rain" in summer, which led to the problem of photovoltaic panel pollution, a PDMS / TiO2 / SiO2 multifunctional coating solution was adopted, integrating a superhydrophobic surface (contact angle ≥ 150°), photocatalytic self-cleaning (full-spectrum quantum dots + TiO2), anti-scaling technology (nano-SiO2 micro-nano structure), and low friction coefficient (≤ 0.1) quadruple protection system. The coating reduces dust attachment through electrostatic repulsion, photocatalytically decomposes organic matter to avoid the drying of "mud rain", and combines with micro-water cleaning (water consumption reduced by 70%), extending the cleaning cycle from twice a month to once a quarter and reducing the annual maintenance cost by 65%. Measured data shows that the light transmittance of the coating remains above 90%, the power generation efficiency increases by 12%, and at the same time, the use of chemical cleaners is reduced by 80%, achieving the dual optimization of efficient water resource utilization and power generation benefits. This solution provides a sustainable protection solution for photovoltaic power plants in arid and dusty regions through fluorescence quantum dot intelligent monitoring and temperature difference resistance (-40°C to 85°C) adaptation technologies.

[0199] (3) Mode 3: Large day-night temperature difference is prone to dew condensation conditions

[0200] In response to the problems of egg attachment, mold growth, and electrochemical corrosion caused by the superposition of viscous pollutants such as animal and vegetable oils and industrial oil stains near a photovoltaic plant in Hunan, combined with high temperature and high humidity (annual average humidity of 82%, above 40°C in summer), a PDMS / TiO2 / SiO2-based multifunctional coating solution is adopted, integrating a superhydrophobic and anti-adhesive surface (contact angle ≥ 155°, surface energy ≤ 12 mN / m), full-spectrum quantum dot photocatalytic self-cleaning (ZnSe quantum dots broaden the TiO2 response to 700 nm), nano-ZnO + plant essential oil microcapsule antibacterial and antifungal (E. coli killing rate ≥ 99.99%, antifungal grade 0), and BTA-PDA complex long-term corrosion protection quadruple protection system. Quantum dot-enhanced TiO2 rapidly decomposes oil stains under visible light (95% degradation rate in 4 hours), the slow release of plant essential oils inhibits the colonization of microorganisms in the oil film, and the BTA-PDA complex blocks the penetration of Cl-. After implementation, the power generation efficiency is increased by 22%, the adhesion amount of viscous pollutants is reduced by 85%, the cleaning cycle is extended from once a week to once every two months, and the annual maintenance cost is reduced by 78%, realizing the efficient decomposition of oil-based pollution and the long-term protection in complex environments. The coating provides a win-win solution for power generation benefits and environmental benefits of photovoltaic power stations in industrial pollution areas through fluorescence quantum dot intelligent monitoring and heat and humidity resistance (85°C / 85% RH, no failure in 2000 hours) technology.

[0201] In summary, the present invention achieves long-term cleaning of photovoltaic panels through a composite coating, extends the cleaning cycle of photovoltaic panels, and reduces water resource waste; and has good light transmittance without affecting the working efficiency of photovoltaic panels; the coating has multifunctional properties such as superhydrophobicity, photocatalysis, and antibacterial by adding multiple functional components, and is suitable for photovoltaic power stations in different climate zones; the coating does not contain materials harmful to the environment and has a stable structure, and is an environmentally friendly material; the preparation process is simple, and the coating and curing methods are easy, and it is applicable to most photovoltaic power stations.
