Ditto to what Sunking said -
You are worrying about nothing.It is no worse than any other standard AC circuit in every home.
Assuming the circuits are installed per code, there is little to no EMF. When you run AC circuit with the supply conductors closely coupled together together, the EMF field is canceled out by the opposing conductor ran with it. This is why the National Electrical Code requires all circuit conductors to be ran together.
Now if you want to worry about frying your brain, just use your cell phone. You are basically holding a miniature microwave oven next to your brain. Fry away.Leave a comment:

EMF concerns
Hello all. Newbie here. Stumbled upon this forum as I was searching for an answer and thought I should probe your brains cells to get some facts straight.
I have a system that was completed in Nov, 2010. It has 2 sets of panels(24 total), one on the back side of the roof and the other on the side(hip roof with 4 sides). Enphase microinverters were used by my installer. He indicated that microinverters are better at optimizing output, which is all fine with me. The system has been producing quite nicely, especially now that spring is coming around.
Here is my question:
The cables from the two sets of panels run through the roof into the attic and then down the side of the house by my bedroom. My bed is just 3 feet away from the two cables that are on the outside. As the inverters are microinverters installed with each panel, the generated electricity leaving the panels should all be in AC.
AC, at least in those high power electrical cables, (and correct me if I'm wrong), are supposed to generate EMF. High levels EMF are supposed to be bad for the body. Am I basically getting fried when I'm laying in the bed in the mornings once the sun has risen, and even more on weekends when I sleep in late?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
