碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程系 === 99 === The study combines solar photovoltaic modules with the Self-cleaning materials, and we observe the differences of efficiency between coating and uncoating forms for a long term. There are three sets of PV model on the attic of E2 building in National Taiwan University Science of Technology, which divided into control group and experimental group. The use of self-cleaning materials is to keep the surface of PV model clean. The result shows that put the glass using self-cleaning material outdoor for a long term, and it will still keep in a great hydrophilic state. After combining solar PV modules with Photocatalyst, it can generate about 2.05% to 12.39% power generation, which is higher than not using the Photocatalyst after a long term. Besides, in STC test and the light transmittance and reflection test, the light transmittance can be higher than general condition by use of the self-cleaning materials on the glass, but the reflection is lower than general. Therefore, in STC test, we can find out the power generation raise. Combining PV modules with the self-cleaning materials, not only can reduce the cost of cleaning, but also can avoid the dust attached to the glass, which causes the power decreasing. Coating the photovoltaic on the substrate to form anti-reflective layer, for that can increase the visible light of transmittance, and improve the power generation of the PV modules.
