Default Do Solar power panels/invertesr emit radiation/EMF

I have been doing alot of research in solar and one thing that was asked that i dont know is, Do solar panels/inverters emit radiation/EMF aka Electro Magnetic Field???

As this has come up in other products i thought id ask here and if it is harmful to the human body?


Thanks in advance

Mickyyyy

Anything electrical has some degree of EMF.
You would get more 'radiation' sitting at your computer, than solar panels on the roof.
EMR is not the monster some people make out.
If you are really worried, wear tin foil clothing and hat.

LOL @ tin foil hat hahaha

It was a concern a family member brought up...

I think a mobile phone is much worse than solar from what ive read...

The EMF from solar panels is next to nil because its DC but the Inverter has quite a bit because there is some switching in the KHz range and it can be at high currents. There are standards for emitted radiation in Australia.
