The invisible danger: How solar roller shutters protect against UV radiation!
How solar shutters can effectively protect against harmful UV radiation while saving energy and automating your home. Find out more about the benefits, installation and maintenance of this innovative solution.
Welcome to our latest article on solar-sonnenschutz.com. Today we are focusing on a topic that is often overlooked, even though it affects us on a daily basis: UV radiation. In particular, we are looking at an innovative solution that not only protects your home, but also your health - solar roller shutters.
What is UV radiation?
UV radiation, or ultraviolet radiation, is part of the natural light emitted by the sun. These rays can be dangerous as they can cause skin damage, premature ageing and even skin cancer. Interestingly, not all UV rays are the same. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are mainly responsible for ageing, while UVB rays act more superficially and cause sunburn more quickly.
Why is protection important?
All of us are exposed to UV rays every day, even on cloudy days. It is therefore crucial to take effective protective measures to avoid long-term damage to our health.
The technology behind solar roller shutters
Solar roller shutters are not just a protective measure against burglars or a means of saving energy - they also provide effective protection against UV radiation. These roller shutters are equipped with photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity, which in turn powers the roller shutters.
How do solar roller shutters work?
The solar cells integrated into the roller shutters collect energy during the day, which is stored and used to operate the roller shutters automatically. This system is self-sufficient and requires no external power source, making it ideal for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Protection from UV radiation with solar roller shutters
Solar roller shutters are made of materials that have been specially developed to block UV rays. Once the shutters are closed, the UV rays are effectively kept away from the windows, protecting the interior of your home. This not only reduces the risk of skin damage, but also protects your furniture and floor coverings from fading.
Efficiency and effectiveness
In one of our case studies, we found that houses fitted with solar shutters showed a significant reduction in indoor UV radiation. This reduction was often in the region of over 95%, depending on the orientation and nature of the shutters.
Installation and maintenance
The installation of solar roller shutters should ideally be carried out by qualified personnel. At Dosseff GmbH, we offer a comprehensive service from consultation to installation and maintenance.
Installation tips
- Site selection: The effectiveness of the solar cells depends heavily on their orientation to the sun. South-facing windows are particularly suitable.
- Installation: Professional installation is crucial for the durability and effectiveness of roller shutters.
Cost-benefit analysis
The initial purchase costs for solar roller shutters can be higher than for traditional roller shutters. However, these costs are amortized over the years through energy savings and reduced air conditioning usage. There are also government subsidies that provide financial support for switching to solar roller shutters.
Environmental benefits
By using solar energy, solar roller shutters reduce the CO2 footprint of your household. So you are actively helping to protect the environment.
Conclusion and outlook
Solar roller shutters provide effective protection against UV radiation while supporting a sustainable lifestyle. At Dosseff GmbH, we are proud to be able to offer our customers products that increase both their comfort and their safety.
