Electromagnetic radiation from photovoltaic systems?

logo-wila-bonnThe internationally renowned electrosmog expert Dr. Klaus Trost explains which electromagnetic radiation is emitted by PV systems, the magnitude of this radiation and what to look out for when installing the system components.

Klaus Trost: "I am not aware of any special findings or studies on health risks due to electrosmog from photovoltaic systems. I also do not expect any particular risks, since at night, when the sensitivity to electromagnetic field immissions is greatest, the sun is not shining, consequently no current flows in the PV modules and no magnetic fields are generated. Electric fields are only generated at night if the inverter does not galvanically isolate the modules from the power grid. However, as already mentioned, electric fields are well shielded by the roof structure and do not penetrate into the house."

10 Thesen der Gartenstadt 21
Published

10 Theses of the Garden City 21

  1. Gartenstadt21 is characterised by joint organisational and financing models which ensure its development and long-term maintenance.
  2. Gartenstadt21 enables adaptable and sustainable models of general participation to be developed and made permanent.
  3. Gartenstadt21 brings about a qualification and networking of existing settlement and open space structures in the metropolitan region.
  4. The Gartenstadt21 has urban qualities in which a high building density and public open spaces are in an appropriate relationship to each other.
  5. Gartenstadt21 offers an attractive "green infrastructure", in the sense of differentiated public open spaces with various functions
  6. The Gartenstadt21 is climate-adapted and energy-optimised
  7. Gartenstadt21 offers a variety of affordable housing options for different social groups
  8. The Gartenstadt21 takes into account new forms of working and the principles of the circular economy in equal measure.
  9. Gartenstadt21 has various public and social facilities for people of different ages and backgrounds
  10. Gartenstadt21 is characterised by a networked mobility offer and thus contributes to a reduction in traffic congestion.

As part of the BBSR study, 10 theses were developed for a "Garden City21 green-urban-networked" that describe process-related and functional qualities of sustainable and integrated urban development. These theses formed the basis for the in-depth investigation within the framework of the Future Lab.
