Is it safe to use solar panels as a dairy shed roof?

In Pakistan, a new trend is emerging where farmers are using photovoltaic panels as shed roofs.

At first glance, this may seem like a good idea, but in reality it comes with serious challenges. Solar panels get very hot under direct sunlight unless they have a special reflective coating. When heated, they release radiant heat underneath, which can make conditions worse for animals resting in their shade.

Thermal images show that the temperature under solar panels can be almost 10°C higher than under a traditional shed roof.

Radiant heat from any roof or shade structure can affect the microclimate up to about 5 feet below the ceiling surface. For example, if a solar panel roof is installed at 12–13 feet above the floor and fans are mounted at 8 feet, the air around the fans is likely to be hotter because of heat transfer from the panels above.

Anyone considering solar panels as a roof should carefully evaluate this issue, along with other risks such as water leakage and the fragility of glass during hailstorms — which have become increasingly common in Pakistan in recent years. No farmer would want to expose their animals to the dangers of a fragile glass roof damaged by unexpected weather.

کیا ڈیری شیڈ کی چھت کے طور پر سولر پینل لگانا محفوظ ہے؟

پاکستان میں آج کل یہ نیا رجحان ہے کہ شیڈ کی چھت پر سولر پینل لگائے جا رہے ہیں۔

لیکن یہ ہمیشہ اچھا فیصلہ نہیں ہوتا۔ زیادہ تر سولر پینل دھوپ میں بہت گرم ہو جاتے ہیں۔ جب یہ گرم ہوتے ہیں تو نیچے کی طرف گرمی چھوڑتے ہیں، جس سے جانوروں کے لیے حالات مزید خراب ہو سکتے ہیں۔

تھرمل تصاویر میں دیکھا گیا ہے کہ سولر پینل کے نیچے کا درجہ حرارت عام شیڈ کی چھت سے تقریباً 10 ڈگری زیادہ ہوتا ہے۔

کسی بھی چھت سے نکلنے والی گرمی تقریباً 5 فٹ نیچے کے ماحول کو متاثر کرتی ہے۔ اگر سولر پینل کی چھت فرش سے 12–13 فٹ اونچائی پر ہے اور پنکھے 8 فٹ پر لگے ہیں تو پنکھوں کے اردگرد کی ہوا زیادہ گرم ہو سکتی ہے کیونکہ پینل سے گرمی نیچے آ رہی ہوتی ہے۔

جو لوگ سولر پینل کو چھت کے طور پر لگانے کا سوچ رہے ہیں، انہیں یہ مسئلہ ضرور ذہن میں رکھنا چاہیے۔ ساتھ ہی پانی کے رساؤ اور اولوں کے طوفان میں شیشے کے ٹوٹنے کا خطرہ بھی ہے، جو پچھلے کچھ سالوں سے پاکستان میں عام ہو رہا ہے۔ کوئی بھی اپنے جانوروں کو نازک شیشے کی چھت کے نیچے غیر متوقع موسم کے نقصان کے سامنے نہیں لانا چاہے گا۔

A freshly laid concrete floor will have rough edges and pointy aggregates(stones) which can cause sudden lameness in new occupants. With a medium grit stone, single grinding can ensure smooth edges yet improved traction between hooves and floor. Grooved lines should be so close that the hooves always cover at least one grooved line to minimise the risk of slipping. This also gives stress-free walking confidence to the cattle on concrete floors. Diamond shaped grooves are proven to be the most effective. Due to unavailability of concrete groovers we are yet unable to get diamond shape cuts in our shed flooring.
