← ScienceWhich unexpected consequence occurs when applying anti-reflective coatings to photovoltaic panels?
A)Moiré patterns reduce light capture✓
B)Coating delamination from thermal stress
C)Surface scattering inhibits absorption
D)Quantum entanglement hinders efficiency
💡 Explanation
Moiré patterns emerge because the coating's periodic structure interferes with the panel's grid producing new interference patterns, therefore reducing the module's efficiency rather than increasing it because these unexpected patterns scatter light.
