This is not an overview but programmed instruction. This book
shows, step-by-step, how a 650-watt, off-grid, do-it-yourself
solar-panel system was set up. The system partially replaced a
2-gallon-a-day gasoline-driven generator system and was estimated
to pay for itself (based on the price of gas) in about 2-3 years.
Starting from the ground up, it explains the importance of
grounding and explains how to ground the system as it is set up.
Topics include: How to calculate overall energy needs and how to
reconcile them with space concerns and affordability. Solar panel
math is explained simply so that viewers can calculate their needs
in terms of: batteries, inverters, panels and wiring. How to
re-evaluate and reshape energy usage to fit what user can
realistically afford is explained. How to set up typical inverters
and charge controllers. Safety issues. How to connect wiring and
figure out the wire size needed with an amazingly detailed appendix
on wire size. How to set up a battery and inverter system first,
and test them as a working unit before adding solar. What to
consider when choosing solar panels. The difference between setting
up panels and batteries in series or parallel. Using a combiner box
to add additional panels later. Choosing a generator for backup or
to equalize your batteries. How to test the specific gravity of
batteries with or without a hydrometer. How to wire panels.
Lightning grounding. As well as system layout, washing panels once
they are setup, etc. The focus here is an easy to understand
explanation of how to set up and independent, self-sustaining
energy system that can support most of the needs of a small
off-grid home. Although it covers an off-grid system it is just as
helpful for someone who wants to be partially on grid but would
rather set up the system themselves.
