Comprehensive Guide to Off-Grid Solar Power Systems

I’m a solar newbie, good info and easy to follow.

This is way too difficult to understand and the complex algorithms and calculations are even beyond the comprehension of an engineer such as myself. No diagrams or illustrations. Why would anyone need this information.

“Off Grid Solar Power Simplified” is without a doubt a value added guide on engineering the right solar power system for whatever your application is like an off grid cabin, RV, Tiny Homes, etc. It goes well beyond teaching you how to spell “Solar Power” like so many other books on the subject. The author systematically walks you through the details of how to design a complete system and make it efficient both in energy and in cost. Face it, copper cables are not cheap. He explains the pros and cons of configuring your batteries and solar panels to reduce the cost of your cables used in your system as one example. He also has his own YouTube channel that reinforces the concepts in the book as well. Not all authors have done this. He is definitely a subject matter expert on DIY off grid solar systems and helps you develop an intuitive understanding of the various topics that go into developing your own unique off grid solar power system. This reference has more than paid for itself in the cost savings of doing the design/build of our system. In my opinion it is a must have to take on a project of this caliber and is a great value for the budget minded solar enthusiasts. We have two paper copies and one digital copy on our iPad for easy reference. One copy is kept with our solar power system and the other is in my home office. On the lite side, Engineer's are essentially lazy and I’m an Engineer and Program Manager by profession. We design things based on cost, schedule, and performance and this book is value added to all three areas.

Very helpful book a must have for solar panels thanks

This book is full of information that you can use to setup solar power.

Well written, easy to read with clear examples.
A practical guide to small solar installations.
If thinking of doing it yourself get this book.
