Abstract

The photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) power generation approaches the theoretical limit. The impact of external factors such as environmental conditions on component efficiency and power station capacity has gradually become more significant. The deposition of dust on the surface of panels in PV power generation systems significantly impacts both the efficiency and lifespan of PV modules. Compared with traditional manual cleaning and machine flushing, anti-reflection self-cleaning technology has advantages in improving light transmittance, reducing cleaning frequency, decreasing water consumption, extending component service life, and improving power generation efficiency. Herein, this review analyzes the basic principles, preparation processes, influencing factors and existing challenges of anti-reflection self-cleaning technology from the perspective of industrial application. Meanwhile, some suggestions for the large-scale industrial implementation of this technology are also proposed to address the operation and maintenance needs of PV power stations. We hope that this review can provide feasible ideas for fast promoting the large-scale industrial applications of anti-reflective self-cleaning technology in PV panels.

抗反射自清洁技术在光伏板中的应用研究

光伏发电的光电转换效率已接近理论极限。环境条件等外部因素对组件效率和电站容量的影响逐渐显著。在光伏发电系统中，电池板表面灰尘的沉积对光伏组件的效率和寿命都有很大的影响。与传统的人工清洗和机器冲洗相比，增透自清洗技术在提高透光率、减少清洗频率、降低用水量、延长部件使用寿命、提高发电效率等方面具有优势。本文从工业应用的角度分析了增透自清洁技术的基本原理、制备工艺、影响因素及存在的挑战。同时，针对光伏电站的运维需求，提出了该技术大规模产业化实施的建议。希望本文综述能够为快速推进抗反射自清洁技术在光伏板上的大规模工业应用提供可行性思路。
