The presence of minute traces of ionic particles on solar glass can compromise energy transference, directly affecting module efficiency. Atmospheric plasma is proven as an effective means of cleaning surfaces by removing organic contamination.

As a dry single stage process atmospheric plasma treating removes contaminations by chemical reaction and physical ablation. Without the use of chemical solvents a significant increase in surface wettability, and a subsequent increase in surface adhesion in achieved.
