Abstract :
Power generation efficiency might decrease by the dirt after the solar photovoltaic system is set up at the house. On this problem, we tried to adopt photocatalyst for the surface of the PV module, expecting the effects of oxidation resolution and hydrophilicity action. Usefulness of the photocatalyst spread PV module, installed at the suburb of Tokyo becomes clear by the experimental verification, successfully.
