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.

ABOUT

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.

BENEFITS

47

Worldwide Patents

10

ISO Validations

8

Global Certifications

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.
