A simple manufacturing add-on that makes every solar panel perform better in the field
Passive. Patented. Designed for OEM integration.
Proven in real field conditions.

+1–2% verified field performance
No change to electrical design
No maintenance, for the panel’s lifetime
A performance problem manufacturers can’t solve downstream
Soiling is one of the few performance losses that happens after the panel leaves the factory.
Manufacturers design, test, and warrant their modules under controlled conditions —
but real-world performance is determined in the field, where dust accumulation is:
site-dependent
weather-dependent
cleaning-dependent
None of which are part of the product itself.
Performance loss happens after shipment — but differentiation must happen before.
A manufacturing-ready anti-soiling architecture
Dustoss introduces a passive Wind-Optimized PV (WOPV) architecture, implemented through MicroThreads — a minimal physical structure integrated into the module design that reduces dust accumulation by leveraging natural airflow over the panel surface.
The result is a consistent, field-proven performance gain, built directly into the module design.
bullets
Passive by design — driven solely by natural wind, with no power, sensors, or control systems
No coatings, no liquids, no consumables
Designed for OEM integration
Compatible with existing module designs
Patent-protected and field-verified
Integration at the module factory
MicroThreads are applied as a final step before packaging.
No changes to upstream processes or module assembly.
Integration at the glass stage
MicroThreads are integrated directly into the front glass.
The glass then flows unchanged through standard module assembly and into the field.
What manufacturers gain
Differentiation
A built-in performance advantage that is part of the module itself — not an external system and not dependent on site-level operations.
Patent-protected.
Low risk
No impact on electrical design, no moving parts, and no operational dependency.
The architecture is passive by design and remains effective for the panel’s lifetime.
Commercial upside
Negligible cost per panel, no meaningful impact on BOM complexity, and flexible commercial structures — including optional geographic or market exclusivity.
Safe by design
Negligible optical shading (~1/2000), well below hot-spot risk thresholds.
No coating damage, no impact on module electronics, and no performance degradation observed under tested conditions.

A structured path to OEM integration
We begin with a technical introduction and data review, followed by a detailed discussion on manufacturing fit — including process considerations and integration points.
Dustoss works closely with your engineering team to transfer the relevant know-how and enable correct implementation within your production environment.
Where helpful, our team can also provide on-site support at the manufacturing facility.For the pilot phase, Dustoss supplies the system and supports performance evaluation — including guidance on test setup, metrics, and analysis methodology — to ensure results are clear, comparable, and meaningful.
From there, we define a focused pilot and align on a commercial structure for rollout.
There is no obligation until technical fit is clear.
