NG-1314/D — Nano Glass Coating for Dust Reduction and Solar Panel Protection
Now with minimum 3-year shelf life!
NG-1314 is a professional-grade nano glass coating that combines a durable hydrophobic “Easy to Clean” shield with an effective dust-reducing function. Designed for high-dust environments and photovoltaic systems, it reduces dust adhesion, repels water, and protects glass against erosion, salt spray, and mineral deposits.
NG-1314 creates nano-scale thin and functional layers instead of a thick film of non-stick chemicals. It has an extremely low consumption rate — up to 100 solar panels per litre — and the lowest cost per square metre of any product worldwide. In bulk volumes, this can be as little as $0.10/m².
Our products are manufactured in Australia. NG-1314 is the only carbon-neutral manufactured solar panel glass coating available. The product has been independently tested by the Glass Research Institute in Italy across UV radiation (1000 hours), salt spray (21 days), abrasion, and acid resistance testing — with no loss of function or damage reported.
NG-1314’s unique inorganic bonding system provides inherent UV protection and a hardness rating of up to 7 on the Mohs scale. The ultra-thin film conforms to the nano-scale topography of the surface, strengthening the glass without filling the surface structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does NG-1314 reduce dust on solar panels?
NG-1314 forms a functional silica matrix on the glass surface that minimises the contact area between dust particles and the panel. This reduces dust adhesion and build-up, helping maintain consistent energy output and reducing the frequency of cleaning required.
- How many solar panels does 1 litre of NG-1314 cover?
One litre of NG-1314 covers up to 100 standard solar panels. A 5-litre pack covers up to 500 panels, making it one of the most cost-effective solar panel coatings available — as low as $0.10/m² in bulk volumes.
- Can NG-1314 be used on anti-reflective coated (ARC) solar panels?
Yes. NG-1314 is specifically formulated to be compatible with ARC panels. It can also be applied via machine, inline roller coating, or spray application, and is infrared curable within seconds for high-volume production environments.
- How long does NG-1314 last on solar panels?
NG-1314 has a minimum durability of 10 years on external glass. This has been independently verified by the Glass Research Institute in Italy through 1000-hour UV, 21-day salt spray, abrasion, and acid resistance testing with no loss of performance.
- Does NG-1314 affect the light transmission or efficiency of solar panels?
No — it improves it. By reducing dust adhesion and keeping panels cleaner for longer, NG-1314 helps maintain and increase power output and consistent energy efficiency. The ultra-thin nano-scale layer does not reduce light transmission.
