The present invention relates to a method for coating a solar panel to reduce the amount of light being received by solar panel's photovoltaic cells and reduce their electrical output. The method comprises the step of coating the light-receiving area of said solar panel with a sufficient thickness of a coating composition which is adapted to reduce the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells such that the resulting electrical output of said solar panel is reduced to below a level which causes physiological injury. The invention also relates to a composition for coating the light-receiving area of a solar panel comprising: a binder and an opacifier, wherein the opacifier is included in a sufficient quantity such that a predetermined film thickness of said composition reduces light transmission therethrough such that the resulting electrical output of said solar panel is reduced to below the predetermined level. The invention further relates to the use of a coating composition, apparatus for delivering a coating composition and a system for delivering the coating composition onto the light-receiving area of a solar panel. Finally, the invention relates to a method of electrically neutralising a solar panel, by sequentially coating a solar panel and measuring its electrical output until the electrical output is below injury level. |
