Energy Applications
Coatings are essential for renewable energy generation.
Anti-reflective coatings applied to solar panels increase
the amount of light passing through the panels, ultimately
generating more solar power. Protective coatings designed
for wind turbine blades promote fast drying and provide
UV and weathering resistance, keeping blades rotating
in challenging conditions from ridgelines to offshore
sites. Electrical insulation coatings help disperse heat
in electric motors and transformers, which can enable
them to increase their efficiency by operating at higher
temperatures. Protective coatings designed for wind turbine
