Know What You're Up Against.
From coastal lichen to inland dust storms and persistent mould growth — Nanotech Coatings is engineered to handle Australia's harshest conditions. One application protects against all three.
Lichen
Lichen Colonies
Don't Clean Off
Lichen is the most common issue we find on Australian panels — and the hardest to shift. It bonds to glass, resists rain, and keeps growing season after season. Left untreated, it permanently etches the surface.
- Found on 95% of panels we visit across residential and commercial sites
- Blocks sunlight and reduces output — up to 30% loss on heavily affected panels
- Nanotech Coatings creates a hydrophobic barrier that prevents lichen from bonding
Dust & Dirt
Dust Storms Don't
Discriminate
Western Australia's solar farms face repeated dust events that coat entire arrays in hours. Coastal panels deal with salt, bird droppings and fine particulates year-round. Without protection, every storm means lost output and costly manual cleaning.
- Dust accumulation can cut output by up to 30% within days of a storm event
- Manual cleaning of large commercial arrays costs thousands per visit
- Nanotech Coatings' self-cleaning surface lets dust wash away with the next rainfall
Mould
Moisture Creates
Mould
In humid climates and shaded installations, moisture trapped on panel surfaces creates the perfect environment for mould. It spreads across the glass, degrades seals over time, and is invisible in low light — making it easy to miss until damage is done.
- Mould growth accelerates in coastal and subtropical climates
- Compromises panel seals leading to hot-spots and micro-cracks
- Nanotech Coatings' VOC-free formula prevents moisture adhesion at the surface level
Built for How You Use It
Homeowners

Restore Up to 30% Lost Output
Lichen and bird droppings silently drain your solar output. Nanotech Coatings clears the buildup and keeps panels generating at full capacity.
-
Apply Once. Forget for 24 Months.
Ground-level or single-storey? DIY in minutes. Roof-mounted? We apply it — or connect you with a local installer. Either way, panels stay clean for up to 24 months.

Eco-Conscious & Safe
A smarter way to keep things clean.
Nanotech Coatings forms a microscopic protective seal that helps stop dirt and buildup from sticking in the first place — so you can clean with less effort and less intensity over time. The formula is built on silicon-based (Si14) chemistry; in its base form, Si14 is 100% biodegradable and designed not to leave environmentally harmful residues when used as intended.

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does one application last?
Our coating has been extensively tested to perform for up to two years in typical Australian conditions. After ~24 months, we recommend re-applying: book a professional installer if your panels are roof-mounted; DIY is suitable for ground-level or single-storey arrays.
Will the coating actually improve output?
Yes. By preventing dust and grime from sticking, panels stay closer to factory-clean and can recover up to 30 % of lost generation.
Do I still need to wash my panels?
Manual cleaning drops from 2-4 times a year to “rinse only if you feel like it.” Rainwater typically beads off and carries dirt away
Is it safe for every panel brand and finish?
Absolutely. The hydrophobic formula is chemically neutral and tested on mono-, poly-, and thin-film modules with zero risk of micro-etching or warranty conflicts.
Can you clean and apply the coating for me?
es. We offer professional cleaning and application services in NSW. Outside NSW, we can connect you with our partner network of professional installers across Australia. Contact us to arrange a booking or referral.
What equipment do I need to apply it?
A low-pressure hand sprayer (1 L capacity for ready-mix, or air-assist gun for raw concentrate). No abrasive pads or high-pressure washers required.
Is the formula eco-friendly?
Yes—VOC-free, non-toxic and fully compliant with Australian environmental standards. Residue breaks down harmlessly after its 2-year service life.
Can it be used on glass balustrades or skylights?
Definitely. The same hydrophobic barrier bonds to glass, acrylic and most plastics, adding self-cleaning clarity for windows and skylights.
Do you ship internationally?
International orders are handled case-by-case. Please contact us here for availability, shipping options and pricing.
