Xerocoat, Inc. is a “pioneering start-up company that designs and manufactures high performing anti-reflective coatings for solar energy systems.” According to the company, their anti-reflective coating increases the solar energy reaching the solar cells by as much as 3% at noon and by as much as 6% during early morning and evening hours. With so many people eager to utilize solar energy, but dismayed by the cost, this could be the beginning to the solar solution.
“At XeroCoat, we’re strongly committed to making solar energy more affordable for all today,” states Tom Hood, chief executive officer and president of XeroCoat. “The XeroCoat antireflective coating offers a very simple and cost-effective way to get the most power out of the sun.” For proponents of solar energy, this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; for solar energy critics, who have long touted that we need a cheaper and better way to utilize the sun’s rays, I say: it looks like it’s sunny outside, so throw on a coat.
