The Netherlands national amateur radio society VERON<\/strong> reports on the pollution problems caused by Solar Panels installed on homes<\/p>\n

Electrical systems such as solar panel installations must comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) standards. That means that there is a limit to the electromagnetic fields (EMF) that an electrical system, such as the combination solar panel and inverter including cabling, may emit.<\/p>\n

However, a 2014 study in 14 European countries by the EMC Administrative Cooperation Working Group found this emission limit is more often than not exceeded.<\/p>\n
