Researchers at the University of Turku , Finland , investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells.

Solar cells are prone to UV-induced degradation and are most often protected against it by petroleum-based films, such as those made of polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) and polyethylene terephthalate ( PET ) Nanocellulose is made by breaking down cellulose into nanoscale fibres.
