Is photovoltaics safe for health?<\/h2>\n

The growing popularity of photovoltaic panels may cause doubts as to what is the impact of photovoltaics on human health. Behind such questions, questioning the legitimacy of having this type of installation, may be mistrust of modern solutions, often conspiracy theories, but most often it is a lack of knowledge and fear for the health of loved ones, which is completely understandable. Therefore, instead of listening to unproven stories, it is worth reading in more detail what the specialists say. So is photovoltaics safe for health? Yes, but one step at a time.<\/p>\n

Are photovoltaic panels harmful to health? Myths and facts<\/strong>
\nRegardless of intentions, a number of people are concerned about the health effects of photovoltaics. During the last few years of development of the offer has accrued a lot of myths, which are worth dealing with at this point.<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/p>\n

Is photovoltaics harmful to health<\/h2>\n

Myth<\/strong> – Photovoltaic panels allegedly produce harmful magnetic fields. According to proponents of this view, people can suffer from dizziness, malaise, nausea, sleep disturbances, vision, and even severe headaches.<\/p>\n

Fact <\/strong>– The panels do indeed generate a magnetic field, but according to research this is the so-called non-ionizing radiation, i.e. radiation that does not cause cellular damage and does not adversely affect the environment. It is worth noting that all electrical devices generate electromagnetic fields, from Wi-Fi, through cell phones, to TVs and even shavers and hair dryers, and the amount of radiation does not adversely affect the human body. Photovoltaics also do not emit excessive so-called electromagnetic noise.<\/p>\n

Myth<\/strong> – Photovoltaics have a negative impact on the environment. The main objection relates to the need to produce the panels themselves, and in addition, the mere disposal of future electro-waste can have a bad impact on nature.<\/p>\n

Fact<\/strong> – Yes, the production of photovoltaic panels does produce a carbon footprint, but it is much smaller than energy production from traditional sources, especially fossil fuels. 1 kWh of energy derived from coal “costs” about 1000 g of carbon dioxide, while in the case of photovoltaics it is only 50 g! What’s more, the products from which the panels are made, such as glass and silicon, are of natural origin, and their disposal after several decades of use is subject to strict requirements on manufacturers, which guarantees safety of use.<\/p>\n

Myth<\/strong> – Photovoltaics are a risk of fire, electrocution and lightning!<\/p>\n

Fact<\/strong> – Correct, but only in the case of improperly performed installation and questionable quality of materials, wiring and insulation. Potential ignitions are mainly the result of damage during installation, electrocution in the absence of short-circuit and overvoltage protection, and lightning “pull” due to the lack of lightning protection systems. Therefore, it is absolutely recommended to use the services of photovoltaic companies with extensive experience and an established position in the market.<\/p>\n

Is photovoltaics healthy? Yes, because…<\/h2>\n

Fact<\/strong> – Electricity obtained with photovoltaic panels from a renewable energy source, which is solar radiation, is pure ecology. Replacing entire power plants and traditional furnaces, which often burn dangerous substances that produce carcinogenic dust, resulting in smog, is the easiest way to the health of ourselves and our children!<\/p>\n

Fact<\/strong> – Photovoltaics means much lower electricity bills. You can also become independent from the power grid by installing your own energy storage. And everyone will be happy if they can save money and use it to improve the comfort of life for the whole family!<\/p>\n

\"IsL’obtention d’\u00e9nergie \u00e0 partir de sources renouvelables, c’est-\u00e0-dire \u00e0 partir du rayonnement solaire, n’est pas nocive pour les personnes ou l’environnement. Les installations photovolta\u00efques correctement con\u00e7ues et install\u00e9es qui poussent sur notre propri\u00e9t\u00e9 comme des champignons apr\u00e8s la pluie ne pr\u00e9sentent aucune menace pour la vie et la sant\u00e9 des humains et des animaux.<\/p>\n

Une installation photovolta\u00efque, c’est :<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Aucune \u00e9mission (z\u00e9ro \u00e9mission) – cela signifie que le fonctionnement d’une installation photovolta\u00efque n’\u00e9met aucune substance dans l’atmosph\u00e8re (gaz, poussi\u00e8re, compos\u00e9s chimiques). Plus les gens utilisent des centrales solaires domestiques, moins les \u00e9missions d’oxydes d’azote, de soufre et de particules solides (par exemple pr\u00e9sentes dans le smog) sont produites dans les chaufferies au charbon ou au bois. On estime que chaque 1 000 kWh d’\u00e9nergie photovolta\u00efque r\u00e9duit les \u00e9missions de dioxyde de carbone de 812 kg par an.<\/li>\n
  • Silencieux – une installation photovolta\u00efque en fonctionnement n’\u00e9met pas de bruit excessif, les transformateurs ont un niveau de puissance acoustique tr\u00e8s faible, et m\u00eame si ce petit bruit s’av\u00e8re trop fatiguant pour les utilisateurs, vous pouvez toujours \u00e9quiper le transformateur d’une isolation phonique sp\u00e9ciale.<\/li>\n
  • Avec une empreinte carbone de plus en plus r\u00e9duite, l’empreinte carbone est un calcul des \u00e9missions totales de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre pendant tout le cycle de vie d’un produit. Il est exprim\u00e9 en \u00e9quivalent dioxyde de carbone par unit\u00e9 fonctionnelle du produit (CO2e \/ unit\u00e9 fonctionnelle).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Le rayonnement \u00e9lectromagn\u00e9tique non ionisant accompagnant le travail de l’installation photovolta\u00efque ne d\u00e9t\u00e9riore pas le climat \u00e9lectromagn\u00e9tique de l’environnement naturel ou notre sant\u00e9 – il n’affecte pas le travail des organes internes, notre bien-\u00eatre g\u00e9n\u00e9ral ou l’ADN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
