Covestro and KerTec collaborate to boost solar park performance
Covestro’s ARCA® coating solution can boost solar efficiency gain by up to 3%. ARCA® has been used in several multi-megawatt capacity solar parks worldwide.
Today, Covestro announced they have joined forces with KerTec, a premier maintenance services provider for solar parks, to expand the use of ARCA®, Covestro’s retrofit anti-reflective coating solution, in solar parks across North America.
As solar park owners seek new ways to boost performance, ARCA® leverages Covestro’s proprietary core-shell particle technology and decreases the amount of reflected light to capture more solar energy. Since ARCA® has already been utilized in solar parks around the world, KerTec seized the opportunity to work with Covestro.
“We are excited to work with Covestro’s proven coating solution to deliver new value-added services to solar park customers in North America,” says Rhett Kerby, managing partner for KerTec LLC. “At the end of the day, we want solar park owners to get the most out of their solar assets when working with us.”
“Covestro’s retrofit anti-reflective coating solution is the next frontier for renewing solar parks in North America,” according to James Wolfe, growth businesses commercial manager at Covestro North America. “When solar park owners ask how they can continue to maximize solar park performance without the challenges of replacing modules, they now have access to Covestro’s retrofit coating solution.”
