Question: “I have read on the internet that electrical waves can come out of your electrical panel and promote tumors and ill health; especially if you sleep next to the panel area in a bedroom.  Is it true, and are their any special actions I can take to stop it?

Answer: Do not believe everything you read on the internet.  Sometimes the information is skewed to present a personal belief in a specific light.

There are no scientifically proven studies to support the idea that electricity can emanate from your electrical panel and cause health issues.  The reasons for this include;

1).  The way in which an electrical panel is constructed, with neutral, ground and hot connections, works to contain any “vagrant” electricity.

2).  There may, possibly, be an element of electro-magnetism within the panel, but the amount is many times less than what you encounter walking around upon the ground.

Also,

Magnetic radiation from electrical systems is many times smaller than the earths field that we walk around every day. Other folks swear that things like cell phones and radio towers are causing cancer, but expose themselves regularly to the front of a TV, or walk outside in the sun, both of which are radiation sources many times larger.   For more information follow this link.

How many hours of solar energy are available for a solar array in my area?

That is an interesting question.  Certainly if you are interested in Solar power, you want to determine how effective and efficient solar will be for you.

AdenBecks has been involved in the electrical installation of Solar arrays for several years.  However this particular question is more within the scope of John Wiley at Northwest Solar.  His phone number is 509 236-2249.

Customer Question:  Does the code allow a receptacle in a bathroom, between the vanity and the toilet, if it is 10 – 18 inches up from the floor.

Short answer: Yes.

But keep in mind.  All receptacles in a bathroom must be GFI protected.  A receptacle is still required above the sink counter top.  Your local community, state or country may have building codes that also affect the location and placement of receptacles.
