Note that some DC-powered devices can increase or reduce EMR exposure. Factors include the device's motor type and size.

Option #2: Create a safer AC solar system

When you can, use DC applications.

Get a better quality inverter. For example, a 12 VDC motor driving a 120 VAC rotating generator can produce very clean 60 Hz power. Motor generator rotory converters commonly convert 50 to 60 Hz or 60 to 400 Hz, or even 60 to 60 Hz for isolation (dirty in, clean out--instead of big filters).

Most inverters now include a transmitter that signals that the inverter is working. Have a qualified technician disengage this transmitter.

Keep the inverter and net meter far from frequented areas, especially bedrooms. Remeber, walls do not shield against EMR emissions.

Note that electricians and solar technicians usually are not trained to measure or reduce EMR emissions; and we have inadequate standards on EMR emissions. Hire a qualified EMF consultant (see resources) to:

* Measure your home's EMR levels.

* Get an electro-mechanical meter to track and transmit electricity sent to

your utility company. Do not use a wireless meter.

* Install a conditioner (i.e. a Tripcon) at your breaker panel.
