Researchers at the multimedia university of kenya have claimed the earth s magnetic field affects solar panel performance in the same manner fields from power lines transformers and other electrical equipment can.
Magnetic field solar panel.
As a result the.
As far as solar panels are concerned there are a lot of unknowns.
The electrically conducting solar wind plasma carries the sun s magnetic field into space forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field.
Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field.
Whenever there is an electric charge it creates an electromagnetic field emf.
Researchers in kenya say the geomagnetic field could reduce solar panel conversion efficiency 0 21 between the equator and a 50 degree latitude.
The kenyan group analyzed the performance of a multicrystalline solar panel influenced by a static magnetic field they calculated was the equivalent of the geomagnetic field.
And while the earth s magnetic field is stationary red blood cells containing the iron compound haemoglobin are not and constantly tumble in the bloodstream.
Electromagnetic radiation from rooftop solar panels is minimal but it is still a good idea to limit your exposure to the emr from all electrical devices solar panels included.
