Method for coating a solar panel

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for coating a solar panel to reduce the amount of light being received by the solar panel's photovoltaic cells and reduce their electrical output. The method comprises the step of coating the light-receiving area of said solar panel with a sufficient thickness of a coating composition which is adapted to reduce the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells such that the resulting electrical output of said solar panel is reduced to below a level which causes physiological injury. The invention also relates to a composition for coating the light-receiving area of a solar panel comprising: a binder and an opacifier, wherein the opacifier is included in a sufficient quantity such that a predetermined film thickness of said composition reduces light transmission therethrough such that the resulting electrical output of said solar panel is reduced to below the predetermined level.
