Publisher's summary

Solar power has come of age. Not only has it become one of the key alternatives to fossil fuels, it can now be deployed in a way that makes a viable business with a financial profit. This book shows industry professionals and students how to do just that.

Solarnomics describes the economics of building and operating a solar power plant today and provides a window into a future in which several technologies collaborate, and in which all participants in the electricity grid become smarter at scheduling both the supply and demand for electric power to give humanity a future that is sustainable, both environmentally and economically. The book shows how to estimate costs and revenues, how to tweak the design of a project to improve profitability, how to calculate return on investment, how to assess and deal with risk, how to raise capital, how to combine solar with batteries to make a hybrid microgrid, and how to be prepared for future developments in the evolving smart electricity grid.

Solarnomics will enable professionals in the solar industry to assess the potential profitability of a proposed solar project, and it will enable students to add an extra dimension to their understanding of sustainability.

Broad but surprisingly thorough overview

This is a time-worthy intro into PV but primarily solar for anyone interested in profiting in the industry. Despite having several patents in energy storage, there’re still a few notable points I learned here I had yet understood about the broader business of PV systems and how to capitalize on these. More importantly how to apply my existing technology to a broader picture of this expanding((ly) (significant)) industry. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in extending their portfolio into the renewable energy sector, looking to start a related business, or simply interested in relation. Only recommendation I would have here is some background into the authors credentials, although with my existing knowledge of the industry, there were no significant discrepancies at first listen.

Fantastic intro to the Solar industry

Really enjoyed the book but would like to work through the bonus material but the book or material are not available on tantor.com as per opening guidelines which is unfortunate.
