Original Abstract Submitted
Compositions of matter for coating a solar panel are provided to increase the solar panel's efficiency. The solar panel coating may be applied to the outermost transparent layer of the solar panel that is exposed to the ambient environment, or in some instances, may be integrated with the outermost transparent layer. The solar panel coating allows enough light to pass through and reach the solar cells while also reducing heat transfer to the solar panel, thereby slowing the rate at which the solar panel heats up. The solar panel coating reduces heat transfer and promotes cooling of the solar panel at least in part by increasing emissivity of the solar panel's surface. The solar panel coating therefore elevates the solar panel's performance while adding minimal thickness to the solar panel.
