Taking the Mystery Out of Solar Power

Understanding and Installing Your Own Solar Electric System takes the mystery out of solar electrical systems. 
It explains solar power in language that the average person will have no trouble understanding and putting to good use.
Understanding Solar 

It takes you through the learning process step by step, starting with an overview of solar power and continues on with one of the most important things involved when living with an alternative energy system, i.e., energy conservation.

You'll learn about the various components of a solar electric system  - batteries, inverters, charge controllers, photovoltaic panels, etc. and how they connect to and interact with each other to form a complete solar electric system.


"This book is well written and easy to understand for the novice, and the everyday person. 
(It).. also attends to the basics of energy conservation and how important it is to succeed in that discipline..."

Understanding How Solar Power Works

Now days, most people realize that solar energy is here to stay. 
It works, it's affordable and the positive environmental impact is substantial.

However, many people are slightly baffled by the idea of having plenty of electrical power, without the large utility companies being involved.

  • How does solar power work?

  • How do the various components of the system hook up and interact with each other?

  • Could I install it myself?

  • Can I still use all my appliances?

  • How will I know if its being installed correctly?

  • What if I'm already tied into the regular power grid?

These and just about any other questions you may have are all answered in Understanding and Installing Your Own Solar Electric System.


"In all, your book does a great job of explaining what things are called, how they work, and how to hook ‘em up…..and is nearly jargon-free, with any technical words thoroughly explained.
I am also glad to see the strong emphasis put on using efficient appliances."
