As far as solar panels are concerned there are a lot of unknowns.
Magnetic field solar panel.
Researchers at the multimedia university of kenya have claimed the earth s magnetic field affects solar panel performance in the same manner fields from power lines transformers and other electrical equipment can.
In an approximation known as ideal magnetohydrodynamics plasma particles only move along the magnetic field lines.
The magnetic field produced is far less than the under half a gauss average of the earth s natural magnetic field.
The solar magnetic field extends well beyond the sun itself.
Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field.
The electrically conducting solar wind plasma carries the sun s magnetic field into space forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field.
Researchers in kenya say the geomagnetic field could reduce solar panel conversion efficiency 0 21 between the equator and a 50 degree latitude.
The kenyan group analyzed the performance of a multicrystalline solar panel influenced by a static magnetic field they calculated was the equivalent of the geomagnetic field.
And while the earth s magnetic field is stationary red blood cells containing the iron compound haemoglobin are not and constantly tumble in the bloodstream.
