Solar Panels and Hay Fever

Do solar panels affect hay fever?

Solar panels have NO effect on hay fever — they don't produce, attract, or trap pollen. Panels are smooth glass surfaces that shed pollen with rain (unlike rough roof tiles that collect it). If anything: solar panels could marginally REDUCE pollen accumulation on your roof because: (1) Smooth glass sheds pollen more easily than textured tiles. (2) Rain washes panels clean. (3) The sealed glass surface doesn't absorb pollen. Health impact of solar panels: zero. No emissions, no allergens, no chemicals, no radiation. The only connection between solar and hay fever: solar saves money on electricity, giving you more budget for antihistamines.
