Abstract: There are several ways to increase the production of solar panels, such as by employing solar trackers for the panels and automatic cleaning systems. Last but not least, using an antireflective coating has become more important for improving solar panel efficiency because the majority of sunlight that hits them is reflected back into the atmosphere. To improve the material efficiency, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposite material with a green production process is applied. The most prevalent substance on Earth is TiO2, which has unique characteristics as well as increased a high refractive index (n = 2.4). TiO2 nanoparticles are manufactured by a 90% natural process called 'green synthesis' using natural resources like roots, flowers, petals, fruit peels, or leaves. Here, the coating is made using flower petals, a natural material. In comparison to an untreated panel, the power output was improved by an average of 1 watt by spraying this coating on it.
