Solar power is beneficial and offers several advantages over traditional electricity sources. It is considered a 'clean' energy option. However, to utilize the power generated by solar panels, it must be converted through a device known as an inverter. This conversion process can lead to what is referred to as 'dirty' electricity and create electromagnetic radiation.
WHAT IS DIRTY ELECTRICITY?
Dirty electricity is a type of electrical pollution, also known as electromagnetic interference. It occurs when the electrical power lines and wiring in a home carry frequencies other than 60Hz current, which is standard in the UK. These additional frequencies can travel along the wiring and leak into the internal environment, potentially interacting with your body and creating additional static in the atmosphere.
In most homes, the wiring is designed for 60 Hz alternating current (AC). In contrast, solar panels generate direct current (DC), which must be converted to AC power for use. This conversion is performed by an inverter, which emits electromagnetic radiation. There are two primary types of inverters used in solar systems:
- String inverters: These are connected to multiple solar panels and are usually installed near the main electrical panel of the home.
- Microinverters: These are smaller units attached to individual solar panels that convert DC to AC power at the source.

The number of inverters can influence the level of electromagnetic radiation produced. Generally, having more inverters increases the total electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. However, the location matters as well; multiple microinverters might contribute to higher overall EMF levels but may have a lesser impact since they are installed outside. In contrast, a string inverter is likely to be placed inside the home.
There are additional issues such as the smart meters and Wi-Fi monitoring systems associated with solar installations and sometimes battery storage, all of which will be emitting electromagnetic radiation. Lastly, as you use more solar power, the buildup of dirty electricity within the home will increase over time.
Our Symbio-Harmonizer Mobile stickers placed on the inverter, smart meter, battery and wireless monitor will neutralise the EMFs. Symbio-Harmonizer Comfort will neutralise the dirty electricity being produced.
