Is there any radiation in the photovoltaic power generation radiation? How big is the radiation? Does it affect crops? This is a problem that many people are worried about.

Things to start from the project of a photovoltaic power station under construction in Zhanjiang, some investors have invested in a photovoltaic power station in Leizhou, Zhanjiang, and thought it was a good thing for the country to benefit the country and the people. However, contrary to this, the power station was repeatedly beaten by local villagers during the construction process. The reason is that the radiation of photovoltaic power stations will affect crops, water and soil, and radiation will affect future generations.

PV power plants affect crops? Will they affect future generations?

When the problem came out, many people in the industry took a sweat. The worry of the villagers in Leizhou is not surprising. The topic of whether there is radiation in the operation of photovoltaic power plants and affecting people's health has been criticized by the outside world. This is not the case.

When it comes to "radiation", people are discolored. In some science fiction movies, because the radiation makes the genes mutate, the picture is too numerous to be scared. But the radiation from photovoltaic power generation is not the case.

In our lives, radiation is everywhere, we use mobile phones that we carry with us, microwave ovens for hot meals, computers for office use, etc. These household appliances also generate radiation during the work. In contrast, the photovoltaic power plants we mentioned above are much smaller than them.

Photovoltaic power plants are mainly composed of photovoltaic modules, inverters, brackets and system accessories. When the sun shines on the component to generate direct current, and then through the inverter into alternating current, the load is connected. During the process of direct current to alternating current, the inverter generates certain radiation during operation. But what is the degree of radiation? Will it affect the growth of crops and affect future generations as the villagers said?

the answer is negative.

The radiation test was carried out with the running inverter and the induction cooker, and the distance of the tester was set to 5 cm and 10 cm. After several measurements, the 5CM average is 5:18, and the 10CM is: 0:13. It can be seen that the degree of radiation of the inverter is much smaller than that of the induction cooker.

As the core component of the photovoltaic power station, the manufacturer of the inverter, in order to reduce the radiation, will put a radiation-proof film on the screen and an aluminum casing. That is to say, the radiation of the inverter we have seen and used is negligible. Looking at the components in the photovoltaic power station, it does not generate radiation, but instead absorbs ultraviolet light from sunlight.

Understand this, do you still worry about the radiation problem of photovoltaic power plants?
