Durable superhydrophobic low-reflectance coatings for next-generation photovoltaics: optical and environmental performance of fluoropolymer laminates

This study presents a new approach to PV surface protection using transparent fluoropolymer laminates - specifically fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) hot-pressed onto cover glass substrates. These coatings demonstrate multifunctional anti-reflective (AR) a...
