ARCI develops easy-to-clean photovoltaic panel finishing
Indian researchers have actually established nanoparticle-based solar panel coating that lessens dust deposition as well as allows very easy cleaning by the activity of water, hence stopping a reduction in panel efficiency due to staining. The finish was created by the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), an independent company of the Department of Science as well as Technology. Key features of this novel covering are its low cost, highly transparent nature (no loss in passage or power conversion performance), super-hydrophobic property (water call angle greater than 110 °), high weather stability as well as high mechanical security. " The surface of a solar panel having super-hydrophobic finish replicates lotus leaf functions. The dropping of water effectively washes off the dirt and also various other pollutants from the panel surface area, comparable to that of a lotus fallen leave," claimed ARCI researchers. " But most such products established in the US and also Europe appropriate for light weather and also can not endure severe ecological problems common in India." India has the greatest typical staining rate of 0.6% per day contrasted to 0.1% in the United States, 0.05% in Japan and also 0.02% in Germany. The ARCI researchers established the finishing making use of functional nanoparticles, that makes it simple to tidy as well as thus ideal for extreme Indian problems of high temperature, humidity and also high toxin degree. The layer can be conveniently applied in an existing PV power generation field by a basic spray-and-wipe strategy. Commercialization The coating has actually been verified busy conditions according to the worldwide standards and efficiently validated on ground-mounted and rooftop solar power plants situated at various places in the country. Two license applications have actually been declared this technology, as well as technical know-how has actually been transferred to NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), New Delhi, for commercial usage. A lot more just recently, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Marichin Technologies, Mumbai, for technology transfer, which plans to manufacture the easy-to-clean product for more comprehensive PV market fostering.

SolarSquare Lands $53m as Rooftop Solar Demand Soars
Indian rooftop solar installer SolarSquare raised $53 million (€45.7 million) in a fresh funding round led by B Capital, money the company said it will use to expand into new markets, advance its technology platform, hire additional staff and grow its business. The funding underscores investor interest in India’s fast-growing distributed solar sector.SolarSquare focuses on residential rooftop solar systems, benefiting from rising homeowner demand driven by lower electricity costs, energy independence and cleaner power adoption. The company plans to strengthen its market presence and improve customer experience through technology investments while scaling operations across multiple regions. How will SolarSquare’s $53M funding expand its rooftop solar platform and market reach? Expand the rooftop solar platform with higher-performing sales and project workflows, improving site assessment, design/engineering, and system configuration to reduce time from lead to installation. Advance its technology stack to streamline quote generation, remote monitoring, and performance tracking, helping customers see clearer savings and solar output over time. Increase automation across the deployment pipeline (e.g., proposal, documentation, scheduling, and compliance checks) to lower operational friction and improve delivery consistency as volumes grow. Grow its installer and operations network to support faster rollout across additional cities and states, enabling the company to serve more homeowners with consistent service quality. Enter new geographic markets beyond its current footprint, using the funding to establish local partnerships and strengthen coverage for assessments, installation, and after-sales support. Scale customer acquisition and retention efforts through improved digital marketing, lead management, and customer onboarding tools aimed at raising conversion rates. Hire additional staff across engineering, product, operations, and customer experience to support both platform development and higher installation throughput. Strengthen partnerships with component suppliers and financing stakeholders to improve procurement efficiency, offer better customer terms, and manage scale-related costs. Enhance installer training and quality assurance programs so installations remain standardized as the business expands across multiple regions. Improve customer experience with better communication, maintenance/servicing processes, and more responsive support enabled by upgraded platform tools. Position the company for long-term growth in India’s distributed solar market by scaling capacity, deepening technology capabilities, and widening market reach in a competitive residential segment.
