Apparatus comprising a high albedo layer (206) and a self-cleaning layer (208) overlayed on the high albedo layer is provided. High albedo compositions having an albedo, where the high albedo compositions comprise a high albedo component intermixed with a self-cleaning component are provided. Systems and compositions to improve photovoltaic cell efficiency by implementing a self-cleaning function on photovoltaic cells (210) and on albedo surfaces (206) associated with photovoltaic cell assemblies is provided. Compositions for protecting albedo surfaces that surround photovoltaic cell assemblies, thereby maximizing energy input into the photovoltaic cell assemblies is provided. Compositions for self-cleaning photovoltaic cell panels (210), thereby maintaining their efficiency, are provided. Albedo collecting devices (220) associated with photovoltaic cell assemblies are provided. |
