Specifically, the thermally conductive and electrically insulating paint composition includes: a first mixture, which comprises a thermoplastic resin and a thermally conductive filler, a polymer dispersant, and a first hydrocarbon-based solvent; and an exterior steel sheet for a solar cell, comprising: a steel sheet on which a heat dissipation layer is formed on one surface thereof; and a thermally conductive and electrically insulating coating layer which comprises a thermoplastic resin, a thermally conductive filler and a polymer dispersant, and which is formed on the other surface of the steel sheet, wherein the thermally conductive filler is dispersed in the coating layer in a form of being encompassed by the polymer dispersant.

The present invention provides for a composition comprising a pigment, wherein the composition is suitable for coating a surface that is, or is expected to be, exposed to the sun. The pigment comprises particles that fluoresce in sunlight, thereby remaining cooler in the sun than coatings pigmented with non-fluorescent particles. The particles comprise solids that fluoresce or glow in the visible or near infrared (NIR) spectra, or that fluoresce when doped. Suitable dopants include, but are not limited to, ions of rare earths and transition metals. A coating composition includes: (i) a film-forming resin; (ii) an infrared reflective pigment; and (iii) an infrared fluorescent pigment different from the infrared reflective pigment. When the coating composition is cured to form a coating and exposed to radiation comprising fluorescence-exciting radiation, the coating has a greater effective solar reflectance (ESR) compared to the same coating exposed to the radiation comprising fluorescence-exciting radiation except without the infrared fluorescent pigment. A multi-layer coating including the coating composition, and a substrate at least partially coated with the coating composition is also disclosed. A method of reducing temperature of an article includes applying the coating composition to at least a portion of the article.
