Learn Sun Power: The Illustrated guide to setting up Batteries, Inverter, Charge Controller, and Panels for a Complete Off-grid Solar Energy System with over 190 illustrations/graphics

This is not an overview but programmed instruction. This book shows, step-by-step, how a 650-watt, off-grid, do-it-yourself solar-panel system was set up. The system partially replaced a 2-gallon-a-day gasoline-driven generator system and was estimated to pay for itself (based on the price of gas) in about 2-3 years. Starting from the ground up, it explains the importance of grounding and explains how to ground the system as it is set up. Topics include: How to calculate overall energy need...
