THE ICEPHOBIC COATING

Since 2018, NEINICE has been deployed on over 10,000 blades around the globe. The icephobic properties of this patented solution have helped operators significantly improve energy output, reduce downtime, and increase revenue during the worst of winter storms.

REVOLUTIONARY ICE MITIGATION

These images were taken of the same turbine on the same day. The blades were coated with NEINICE while the nacelle surfaces were left untreated. While the nacelle is covered in a thick layer of ice, the blade itself is free of buildup. While seeing can be believing, the data behind these results supports the efficacy of Phazebreak's flagship coating.

INCREASE ENERGY GENERATION UP TO 109%

The above graph represents on-site data shared with Phazebreak by a customer demonstrating the efficacy of NEINICE coated turbines compared to their uncoated counterparts. In section 1, both the coated and uncoated turbines are performing at equal levels. In section 2, the icing event begins and both uncoated and coated turbines begin to experience a drop in output However, as the event continues, the uncoated turbines stop turning while the coated turbines continue to generate power. Section 3 shows the recovery stage as the event ends. The uncoated turbines are slower to reach optimal RPM’s, while the coated turbines are already at pre-event levels.

WIND TURBINE
PROTECTION

Icing on turbine blades can shut down wind farms entirely during the worst of winter storms. Studies show that even in low icing conditions, the yearly losses for operators can be as high as 5%, with the worst of icy conditions reducing energy output by up to 25%.

Cost Efficiency

The cost of an application of NEINICE can be recouped within 1-2 seasons from the application date, and is far less costly than current ice removal methods.

Long Lasting

Infield data shows that a coating of NEINICE remains effective for 3-4 years before needing a reapplication.

SOLAR PANEL PROTECTION

Snowy conditions can significantly decrease the production capabilities of PV modules in winter effected areas. Current snow clearing solutions can be costly for solar farm operators and can prove ineffective in the midst of the worst storms. NEINICE provides a slick surface which discourages the adhesion of snow and ice during the cold season.

COMPREHENSIVE HAIL PROTECTION

A 2019 research paper “The vulnerability of solar panels to hail.” found that damage to solar panels occurs primarily with hailstones with a size exceeding at least 3 cm.
‍
Severe thunderstorms produce hail stones ranging from 2.54 cm - to 4.445 cm in diameter with an expected speed of 25-40 mph (40-64 km/h).

The strongest supercells produce hail 5.08 cm to 10 cm in diameter with a fall speed between 44-72 mph (70-115 km/h).
‍
NEINICE coating has been shown to withstand impact speeds of up to 67 mph (107 km/h) with no damage to the coating layer or the panel beneath.

Protection Without Interference

Studies have demonstrated that NEINICE protects PV modules without interfering with energy production levels.
