Imagine if you could cut your electricity bill in half by adding a solar setup to your house. Now what if I said you could design and install your DIY solar power system and escape the labor costs?
Since available information in this regard is incomplete, DIY Source has prepared a practical guide on how to set up DIY solar power systems. DIY Solar Power for Beginners will guide you in customizing your grid, tied as well as mobile and off-grid solar power systems.
We will walk you through the whole process of building your own solar system, including calculating your electricity needs. This blueprint uses a pragmatic approach and emphasizes the essentials, while covering all the necessary details so that you will be able to DIY it, or, if you need to hire a contractor, you will know what to expect from them.
In this solar guide, you will discover:
- Pros and cons of different types of systems, and guides to choose the proper one
- Beginner-friendly guide on essential electricity rules and circuits
- How to use solar installation tools
- How photovoltaic solar cells and panels function
- Grid tied and off-grid solar power simplified formula to calculate your electricity needs and power consumption
- How to size your roof for solar panel installation
- How to mount your own solar panels

- How lead acid, lithium ion battery work and how to size a battery for your off-grid survival
