Hybrid Solar Power Installation's Beginner Guide

This is an outstanding and helpful website that will assist you in gaining an understanding of your current energy use, which will allow you to select the appropriate configuration for your off-grid living situation. One of the aspects of this guide that I found most interesting was the examination of various solar power options, including grid-tie, hybrid, and off-grid systems.
In addition to this, the author did an excellent job of guiding you through some of the procedures that are necessary to do your own setup, and they even took into consideration your financial constraints. RECOMMEND IT!

Great guidance to get set up

More and more with the world, I have been trying to find ways that I can be less reliant on others for our essential needs such as food, water, and power. I have a clear objective though which is to make informed decisions for the right type of solar system for my home but there are so many options and technical jargon that continued to confuse me. So I figured if I could do research on my own, but searching website after the website was getting me more confused so I decided I wanted to try books that I could focus on the materials being shared. The reason I picked this book is it promised simplicity in explanations and they were correct.

The author takes a great approach to explaining the different systems such as off-grid, grid-tie, and hybrid which made it way more simple to just start there. The author provides us with details of each type of system but explains it in a way that you can understand and envision how that would work with your home and to decide if that's the right type of system. Throughout the book, the author encourages you to make decisions. Getting hung up will continue to make you spin which gets you nowhere. The way the author presents the different systems is a comparative analysis so you can review side by side which system offers what you want vs what is not available.

With a book like this, the thought of designing your solar power grid system feels like something that can actually be accomplished.

Very informative!

Recently, my husband became interested in installing solar panels for our home. I listened to the audiobook to learn more about what was involved, because I didn’t know much about the subject and it would be expensive to do such a project.. This book explains the ideas behind solar power and how to set up a system. It also covers things like determining how much energy is needed and the costs before starting such a project. It does a great job of explaining the ROI (return on investment) and how to figure out how long it would take for a solar power system to pay for itself. I would highly recommend this if you’re considering such a purchase.

Solar Power Installation 101

The author of this book does a good job providing a good foundation of understanding for the concepts behind solar power, solar power generation, and solar power system installation.  He even delves into things like assessing energy needs (along with the needed math) before getting started and the financial impacts that should be considered before moving forward with such a project.  In particular, I like that he explains the math involved in ROI (return on investment) and how to figure out the length of time it will take for a solar generating system to pay for itself--an extremely important consideration before jumping onto this eco-friendly bandwagon.

Benz Joe goes into significant depth on subjects such as hardware options; how to evaluate/calculate a site's optimal sun exposure and system placement, along with the angle of the panels; different types of batteries and their considerations; racking and mounting systems; safety; and maintenance for best long-term value.

There is a lot of information to take in here--it is a bit overwhelming.  However, it is a perfect overview of details one should consider before undertaking such a worthy, but complicated and potentially dangerous, project.  When my family gets to the point of being able to consider installing a solar power system, I'll be coming back to this resource as a primary guide.  I definitely recommend this book as a great place to start the solar power journey!

Energy saving system!

It was an interesting experience listening to this book. The complex world of solar energy has been successfully simplified into a language that even beginners can understand.
The most valuable aspect of this audiobook was its systematic approach to solar power system design. It offers a thorough manual for anyone wishing to use solar energy for anything from small-scale devices like calculators to large scale household power systems. Particularly useful were the comparisons of various solar system configurations (off-grid, grid-tied, and hybrid) and the customized system selection guidance, I found it valuable and informative
