About this listen
Discover the secrets to powering your vehicle to go off the grid with mobile solar power systems. Learn how to power up to go off the grid the right way!
Living in a van or RV is an awesome experience - but using loud generators to power your devices is not. When all you want to do is get on the move, having to rely on someone else's electricity can really put a damper on your travel choices.
The good news? Solar panels, which are a very efficient source of renewable energy, can power everything you need - whether you are on the go or parked at a campsite!
I've written a comprehensive guide to taking your RV or van off the grid and on to an awesome, free adventure.
Here are some things you will learn:
- The differences between lead acid vs. lithium batteries, and which is better
- Learning how electricity works (for your RV or van)
- Types of charge controllers, and which ones are best for you
- The basics of how solar panel work for you
- The best ways to install the mobile solar panels
- How to choose the appropriate size of inverters for your system
- And how to secure your solar panels against lightning
While it is impossible to fit every solar off-grid layout in one book, I've focused putting together the best setups to accommodate your traveling needs. Your fellow travelers will marvel at what you've done, and become jealous when they see your vehicle unhooked from shore power!
So please, listen to Mobile Power Systems for Vans and RVs - Power Up to Go Off Grid and let me lead you step-by-step through the process of taking your traveling to the next level!

Converting your home to solar energy is one of the best investments you will ever make. You’ve heard that installing solar power reduces the value of your home. Or that your roof will leak if you install solar power. You may even have heard that if solar panels are imperfectly installed, your house will burn down. Don’t believe any of it. They’re just not true.

Story
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

These small houses are taking the world by storm at the moment, and rightfully so. Combine a massive oversupply of containers with people looking to live in cheap homes, that are even eco-friendly, and you can see why building container homes is a match made in heaven.

These containers make for amazingly cheap houses, for the fraction of the cost of a traditional home. This book is a step-by-step guide on how you can build a container home.

Story
Regarded as one of the brightest young scientists of his generation, Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world as well as a thought experiment about the very idea of scientific knowledge itself.

perfect
Do not be fooled by the short length. This is a thorough portable solar system guide for beginners. I am often turned off by reviews because 1/2 say its great and the other 1/2 says its junk. Take my advice. If you are new to solar and overwhelmed at the thought of digging into the technical this will inspire and guide you. There are certainly reasons I will have to listen again and again it's due to the massive knowledge needed but it is very well received and far from a chore to complete.

Please read the book once before narrating.
Great book but the narrator needs to read more before recording. Lots of errors but not a deal breaker. If you are interested in solar energy do yourself a favor, and get this book.

a lot of misleading information
In this book I felt that the narration was good but some of the information seem to be wrong. I am in no way a solar expert but from my research and numerous hours of YouTube, some of this information is very off.
