The invisible danger: How solar roller shutters protect against UV radiation!
How solar roller shutters can effectively protect against harmful UV radiation, while saving energy and automating your home. Learn more about the benefits, installation and maintenance of this innovative solution.
Welcome to our latest article on solar-sonnenschutz.com. Today we are devoting ourselves to a topic that is often overlooked, although it affects us every day: UV radiation. Specifically, we are talking about 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 a part of the natural light emitted by the sun. These rays can be dangerous as they can cause skin damage, premature aging and even skin cancer. Interestingly, not all UV rays are the same. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are mainly responsible for aging, while UVB rays act more superficially and cause sunburn more quickly.
Why is protection important?
Each of us is exposed to UV rays every day, even on cloudy days, so it is 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 only a protective measure against burglars or a means of saving energy - they also offer effective protection against UV radiation. These roller shutters are equipped with photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity, which in turn drives the roller shutters.
How do solar shutters work?
The solar cells integrated into the shutters collect energy during the day, which is stored and used to operate the shutters automatically. This system is self-sufficient and does not require an external power source, making it ideal for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Protection against UV radiation through solar roller shutters
Solar roller shutters are made of materials specifically designed to block UV rays. Once the shutters are closed, UV rays are effectively blocked from the windows, protecting the interior of your home. This not only reduces the risk of skin damage, but also protects your furniture and flooring from fading.
Efficiency and effectiveness
In one of our case studies, we found that homes fitted with solar shutters showed a significant reduction in indoor UV radiation. This reduction was often in the range of over 95%, depending on the orientation and design 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 advice to installation and maintenance.
Installation tips
- Location selection: The effectiveness of the solar cells depends heavily on their orientation towards the sun. South-facing windows are particularly suitable.
- Installation: Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and effectiveness of the roller shutters.
Cost-benefit analysis
The initial purchase costs for solar roller shutters can be higher than those for traditional roller shutters. However, these costs are paid off over the years through energy savings and reduced air conditioning use. 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 your household's carbon footprint. So you are actively contributing to environmental protection.
Conclusion and outlook
Solar roller shutters offer 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.
