Can you please advise on the EMF safety aspects and considerations with regard to Solar Panels & Domestic Wind Turbines? In particular, is it safe to sleep in an attic conversion room which has solar panels on the roof?

There are solar pnaels and solar panels. I assume you mean electrical ones rather than water or heat-pipe technology.

The electrical ones produce Direct Current which is uusually used to charge up a bank of batteries. That DC is then converted to AC when the house needs electricity. The panelas are OK, but you don't want to share a room with the batteries nor the power inverter that converts the power to AV.

The sam applies to domestic wind turbines.

For water based ones, just watch out for the pumping motor locations. Keep several meters away from these.
