Solar power panels

Solar power panels use low-iron glass to protect the panels. If the external glass layer fogs up because of temperature differences, solar power generation efficiency is affected. Ray Materials anti-fog coating is super-hydrophilic in nature, reducing the contact angle and preventing fogging. Such super-hydrophilic properties form a water layer and allow the panels to self-clean when it rains, preventing reduced output from panel surface pollution.

Solar panel output decreases with higher temperatures. Ray Materials anti-fog coating is not visible to the naked eye, but a water layer is formed to prevent fogging. Natural light evaporates this layer and reduces the temperature of the panels, helping to increase output.

Glass greenhouses

Garden products have high moisture content, causing them to spoil easily and making them difficult to store. Glass greenhouses used for facility gardening/agriculture are customized for the farm’s topology and climate. If adequate sunlight is not acquired due to fogging from day/night temperature differences, certain produce will have reduced growth or harvest quantity, leading to a drop in product value.

Ray Materials anti-fog coating forms a super-hydrophilic layer that provides a self-cleaning function during rain. Fogging is permanently prevented, leading to consistent sunlight exposure regardless of the environmental conditions.

Road mirrors

Road mirrors are installed to prevent accidents at curved junctions of roads on mountains or at intersections with no signals. These allow drivers to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and road conditions ahead to drive more safely. Mountain roads often experience fog, and road mirrors are often not maintained properly, leading to pollutants on the surface that can lead to accidents.

Ray Materials anti-fog coating prevents fogging on the mirrors and helps drivers to drive more safely by providing an enhanced view for both drivers and pedestrians. A hydrophilic layer enables self-cleaning during rain, keeping the mirror clean.
