Smart photocatalytic surface technology that creates a self-cleaning solar panel.
In 2023, it is estimated that €11.5 Billion in revenue will be lost due to solar panel soiling. By 2027 this will be €22 Billion.
How does Kastus create a self-cleaning solar panel?
Hydrophilic
Hydrophobic
Super-hydrophilic
When Kastus is embedded into the cover glass it creates a super-hydrophilic surface. A super-hydrophilic surface makes the water spread and run off it, taking the contaminants with it. In research it has been proven that the self-cleaning efficiency of super-hydrophilic coating on dust deposition is 92% higher than the bare glass cases.
UV Light
Photocatalytic
Kastus is also photocatalytic. When exposed to UV light it creates free radicals on the surface. These free radicals will break down any organic materials before they have a chance to adhere to the surface. Kastus will disintegrate bio-film, fungus, moss, bird droppings, snail trails, tree sap and more, before they have a chance to diminish the panel's efficiency.
What are the unique benefits of Kastus?
Dual-function
Kastus is super-hydrophilic and photocatalytic. Together they result in a self-cleaning solar panel.
Seamless Integration
Kastus fits into the existing production process. It comes in liquid form and is simply sprayed onto the glass before it is tempered.
Embedded
Kastus is embedded into the glass surface during the tempering stage. It isn't a coating, it is the glass.
Cost
Kastus isn't another additional component. It is added to an existing component. Therefore cost of implementation is low.
Permanent
Being embedded also means it's permanent. Unlike hydrophobic coatings it lasts for the lifetime of the glass.
ESG
Kastus is photocatalytic.
It is a natural process and doesn't leach. It is environmentally friendly today and for the future.

Kastus saves on cleaning, maintenance and water. Reducing cleaning cycles by over 50%.
It also creates a minimum efficiency gain of 3%. Meaning the average American household will save $9,000 over the lifetime of their solar panels.
