  By Sandeep Sharma, Lalit Mohan Trivadi, Ajay Dureja, Sandeep Banerjee, Poras Khetarpal

  Abstract: Environmental factors such as dust deposition, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and surface reflection significantly reduce the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. This study investigates the development and performance evaluation of polymer-based nanocomposite coatings designed to improve the optical and surface properties of PV panel glass. A hybrid nanocomposite coating containing TiO₂ and SiO₂ nanoparticles dispersed in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix was synthesized using the sol–gel technique and deposited through …
