Solar Panels on Roofs Not Linked to Higher Cancer Rates: Expert Debunks Myth
Recent rumors in China link rooftop solar panels with increased cancer rates and birth defects, causing public concern. Experts measured radiation from various devices, including solar panels, finding levels significantly below national safety standards (less than 20 nanoteslas compared to the 100 microteslas limit). They clarified that while solar panels emit radiation, like most electronics, the levels are harmless. Experts emphasized that household appliances meet safety regulations, reassuring the public and supporting China’s renewable energy goals amid misinformation.
