How SIMIX Products Increase Solar Panel Efficiency
Solar Panel Efficiency
Solar panel efficiency is negatively affected by increased UV radiation and cloud cover.
Of the light that reaches Earth’s surface, Infrared Radiation (IR) makes up 49.4%, while visible light provides 42.3%, and Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) provides 8.3% of the total solar radiation. Only the visible light produces electricity.
Why is this important?
SIMIX deflects up to 90% of UV rays, which have been quantified as the main hindrance to electricity production, while allowing 100% of visible light through. SIMIX's unique combination of technologies allows more visible light to reach the PV cells, improving your panels' performance. Contrary to sunglasses, which block UV, IR, and visible light, SIMIX clearcoat deflects the UV rays but allows visible light to enter.
*Note: Results will vary depending on the time of the day and cloud cover.
Why Solar Panels Lose Efficiency
Even a thin layer of contamination can cause measurable losses in solar output. Common issues include:
- Soiling Losses: Dirt and debris block incoming solar radiation
- Thermal Losses: Higher surface temperatures reduce voltage output
- Frequent Cleaning Costs: Manual or water-intensive cleaning raises O&M expenses
- Degradation Over Time: Repeated abrasion from cleaning shortens panel lifespan
Without proper surface optimization, panels produce less energy, require more maintenance, and deliver a lower return on investment.
The SIMIX Solution for Solar Panels
SIMIX provides a two-step surface optimization approach that addresses both contamination and thermal efficiency.
SIMIX Cleaner & Degreaser
Restores Light Transmission
- Removes embedded dirt, oils, and environmental films
- Restores original glass clarity for improved photon penetration
- Reduces reflectivity losses caused by surface buildup
- Safe for use on tempered solar glass and mounting systems
A cleaner panel means more sunlight reaches the photovoltaic cells, immediately improving energy production.
SIMIX Ceramic Clear Coat
Protects, Conducts & Reduces Heat
Unlike traditional coatings that insulate surfaces, SIMIX Ceramic Clear Coat is conductive and engineered to work with energy systems—not against them.
- Forms an ultra-thin, transparent protective layer
- Helps panels shed heat more efficiently
- Reduces future dirt adhesion, keeping panels cleaner longer
- Protects against UV exposure, oxidation, and environmental wear
The result is a panel surface that stays cooler, cleaner, and more efficient for extended periods.
How SIMIX Improves Solar Panel Performance
☀️ Increased Energy Output
Cleaner, clearer panels allow greater solar irradiance to reach the cells, improving daily kWh production.
🌡️ Reduced Thermal Loss
By limiting heat retention on the panel surface, SIMIX helps maintain optimal operating temperatures—critical for voltage stability.
🧼 Lower Maintenance Costs
The protective clear coat reduces soiling frequency, minimizing cleaning cycles and water usage.
⏳ Extended Panel Life
Less abrasion, reduced UV damage, and improved surface protection help preserve panel integrity over time.
Ideal Applications
SIMIX solar optimization is effective for:
- Commercial rooftop solar arrays
- Utility-scale solar farms
- Industrial and warehouse installations
- Municipal and institutional solar systems
- Ground-mounted and canopy-mounted panels
Whether you manage a few hundred panels or tens of thousands, SIMIX scales efficiently.
Sustainability & ROI Benefits
Improving solar efficiency means more clean energy without adding panels:
- Higher energy yield per installed watt
- Faster ROI on existing solar investments
- Reduced water consumption for cleaning
- Supports ESG, sustainability, and energy-efficiency initiatives
SIMIX helps solar assets deliver more power, more consistently, with fewer resources.
