Review
This book is a wonderful manual for understanding solar system configurations to the core. Written in layman's terms, the author allows you to get as technical as you need on the subject while bypassing some of the more difficult calculations. This is the side companion for those who have purchased books on solar system configurations and found them wanting. I totally recommend this book. – The Coffee Dude
This is a useful reference for someone wanting to put in or maintain an off-grid solar system. Perfect guide for my cabin! Definitely recommend – Thunderbeast
Calculations are given and explained for every aspect. Layout, system parts, etc. are detailed. This book is like having an electrical engineer in your pocket, but you would just need to do all the work and calculations…which is the DIY dream, anyway…right? – Wes
Besides overlanding, my church group holds a fireworks booth for fundraising. This book helped me do the math to calculate the size of the battery I would need to run the lighting of this booth. The book also helped me set up the solar controller and set up my panels and my AC converter. – Jesse Zamarripa
My brother loved this book; he said it was exactly what he was looking for to get his cabin wired correctly for solar power. – Ryan
