ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Dec. 22 (TNSJou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
In an advance that could dramatically improve the productivity of solar panels in cold climates, a University of Michigan-led team has demonstrated an inexpensive, clear coating that reduced snow and ice accumulation on solar panels, enabling them to generate up to 85% more energy in early testing.
The coating is made chiefly of PVC or PDMS plastic and silicon or veget . . .
