An Indian research team developed a transparent, nanocomposite coating that makes solar panels superhydrophobic, enabling self-cleaning and reducing dust-related performance losses. Six months of outdoor testing showed coated panels produced 16% more power than dusty panels and 7% more than manually cleaned panels, while also lowering temperature and improving stability…
