20. DOES THE SYSTEM EMIT RADIATION? ACCORDING TO  THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: "There is no fear of danger  to the public's health of non-ionized radiation being emitted from the photovoltaic installation for those who live in close range to it on condition that one installs the converter  at a distance of at least 4 meters from the area where people reside on a permanent basis. The facility produces direct current electricity using light panels (modulars) that do not emit radiation at all.

21. The converters, that transfer the current directly to an alternative current, emit radiation on a very low level similar to the electricity that supplies the house and does not cause health damage. The Ministry of Environmental Protection approves the placement of facilities for power generation using photovoltaic technology on the roofs of existing or future buildings. The placement of photovoltaic cells on roofs is desirable and should be encouraged." Albert Bernstein, in charge of non-ionizing radiation electrical facilities, 2009.
