UNDERSTANDING SOLAR POWER
If you want information on solar electric systems, written in a
non-technical manner that you can easily understand, you've come to
the right place.
With all the technical jargon kept to a minimum (and when necessary,
fully explained), you will have all the answers to the questions that
have made you a little hesitant, in the past, to get more involved in
this clean, renewable form of energy production.
The environmental importance of alternative forms of energy
production cannot be overstated.
Solar power, wind power and micro-hydro power are non-polluting,
renewable and sustainable forms of energy production and their use
should be actively encouraged.
_AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THIS DIRECTION IS TO HAVE READABLE, EASY TO
UNDERSTAND INFORMATION AVAILABLE._
Now, with the information offered here, you will be able to move
forward and take advantage of this clean, renewable source of
electrical power.

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.
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..."
