Is placing a solar power plant on roofs safe?
Solar power generation is based on decades-old technology, using silicon-based photo-voltaic cells. When formed in panels and installed on roof tops, solar cells do add additional load, but engineering studies are required to ensure the integrity of roof supports before installation. In terms of health effects, silicone-based technology in the form of photovoltaic cells have been in use for over sixty years without any evidence that humans are affected in any way. In California, dozens of schools are employing solar plants without reporting any negative health consequences. How are UP residents who do not become members in the LLC benefited by the solar generation plant in their midst? As stated, a 22.77 kW solar power system could be expected to generate 30,443 kWh/year. The production of solar energy will partially offset the payments we all make to Pepco for our electricity, thus effectively reducing our total energy costs. And the green electrons produced by the solar plant supply
