Can Photovoltaic Glass Be Installed Addressing Radiation Concerns

Photovoltaic glass, a revolutionary building material, is transforming how we generate solar energy. This article explores its installation feasibility, radiation safety, and real-world applications—perfect for architects, homeowners, and sustainability advocates.

Is Photovoltaic Glass Installation Practical?

Yes! Modern photovoltaic glass sheets are designed for seamless integration into:

• Commercial skylights and curtain walls
• Residential windows and balcony railings
• Agricultural greenhouse roofs
• Public infrastructure like bus shelters

Installation Process Simplified

EK SOLAR's installation protocol involves three key phases:

1. Structural Assessment: Load-bearing analysis (≤25 kg/m² typical)
2. Customization: 70%-90% light transmission options
3. Grid Connection: 15-30% building energy offset capability

Radiation Myths vs. Facts

Let's cut through the noise:

Radiation Type	Photovoltaic Glass	Standard Window
EMF	0.3-0.5 µT	0.2-0.4 µT
UV Block	99%	40-60%

Key Insight: The slight EMF increase (<0.2 µT) poses no health risk—equivalent to standing 3 feet from a LED TV.
