Description

Solar Energy is a wonderful concept. Take free energy from the sun and use it to power electrical equipment. No ongoing electricity bills, no reliance on an electricity socket. ‘Free’ electricity that does not harm the planet. Generating electricity from sunlight alone is a powerful resource, with applications and benefits throughout the world. But how does it work? What is it suitable for? How much does it cost? How do I install it? This best- selling, internet linked book answers all these questions and shows you how to use the power of the sun to generate electricity yourself. Now in its fifteenth edition, this book assumes no previous knowledge. It explains the advantages of solar energy and the drawbacks you need to consider. As well as explaining the underlying principles, it provides a step-by-step guide so that you can successfully design and install a solar energy system from scratch. The website that accompanies this book includes online solar calculators and tools to simplify your solar installation, ensuring that building your system is as straightforward and successful as possible. Readers can also get in touch directly with the author to ask questions and get further support with their solar projects. Read more

A great book for reference
It is a great book for reference on solar electricity. It still has room for improvement.

An Excellent Book for Understanding Solar!
I highly recommend this book. It was easy to understand and it had content applicable to all kinds of solar applications (grid-tie, off-grid, caravan/RV). I purchased this book after doing a lot of online research (watching youtube videos, etc.). This book helped to answer many of my unanswered questions. This is a great book to have, if you are thinking about solar. ... show more

Excellent book for new to solar
Great book and helped me put in solar. However I put my large 12 panel arrays on posts and sure could have used the calcs for pole sizing, concrete footing calcs, wind /snow loading calcs, etc

Correction: Using page 130 drawing, inverter makes AC not dc.
The book is simple but generally useful. CAUTION: Do not use the drawing on page 130 as it has errors. 1. The upper panel series is missing a DC Circuit Breaker. 2. The upper panel appears to be grounded. 3. The connection to the power company would be 3 wire 240 volts L N and L. 4. The grid tie inverter actually makes 240 volts AC L to L and 110 volts L to N. Make your own drawing please. ... show more

Lots of useful information, this book answered a lots of questions and cleared a ton of misinformation that was provided to me by the so called professional on this field. Many thanks to Michael Boxwell for taking the time to write this book and updating it.
