Imagine how often you read books about solar panels and solar power systems and their design and felt disappointed, confused without knowing how to get started and put together the pieces of the puzzle of your much anticipated and long-awaited off-grid or grid-tied solar power system . No more confusion! The book ' Ultimate Solar Power Design Guide - Less Theory, More Practice ' is the missing guide for proven simple fast design of solar electricity systems for your home, off-grid house, business, boat, vehicle or other outdoor activities. What is more, this guide is written by experts especially for beginners and professionals alike. Proper sizing of a solar system is very important. The final goal of the design of a photovoltaic system is to come up with a cost-effective, efficient and reliable solar panel system for your home, RV vehicle, boat or business - a solar system that squeezes the maximum possible power for every cent invested. In our opinion, the main drawback of many solar books is that they give too much general information about solar panels and solar components and, if you are lucky enough, just one or two very basic design formulas. Those formulas, however, are far away from a proven yet simple system for sizing a solar system from scratch. Moreover, such sizing information is buried in too much fillers and fluffs you could easily find by just surfing the web. Obviously, such authors limit solar design methods to their own cases only. Ironically the reader's case rarely coincides with the authors' solar case. You feel confused and lost without being aware of how to wire and put all the components of the solar power system together. The mission of this book is to fill this gap by offering a simple practical, fast, step-by-step approach for designing a solar system of any scale, whether simple or complex, intended for your home, business, RV vehicle or boat. The book is written by experts, holding master's degree in electronics, and is intended for those who cannot get started or are utterly confused. Grab the book 'Ultimate Solar Power Design Guide - Less Theory, More Practice' and get your solar powered home, RV vehicle, boat or business today! While reading the book you will discover that our approach to sizing a solar system is just the opposite to the currently prevailing ones. We prefer to give you lots of fast and simple step-by-step universal design methods applicable to all cases, accompanied with many sizing examples - starting from very simple solar power systems and finishing with the design of the more sophisticated off -grid solar power system. Thanks to this approach you will be capable of designing any solar power system or tailor the sizing methods according to your own needs. The book provides 3 general approaches: Business sizing - simple and fast design but not too accurate for every case Basic sizing - not so fast but more accurate, and Advanced sizing - more accurate but not so fast You may choose one of the general approaches, depending on the type of system you are going to use. For example, the fastest business case approach could be used for sizing simple solar systems for outdoor activities. It may be even accurate enough for sizing small solar systems for RV vehicles and boats. The basic and the more accurate advanced approach are best suited for designing off-grid and grid-tied solar electric systems.

Review: Practical Guide, Very accessible - I'm looking at expanding the solar system on my RV and this book provided me with everything that I need to make smart, cost effective decisions on what to buy and how to install. Will save me thousands by doing it myself. Review: Helpful reference, but technical. - As a homeowner interested in going solar, the book was helpful and provided useful information, but some sections were a little more technical (many formulas) than I needed. More helpful to me was the authors' other recent book, "The Truth About Solar Panels", which I recommend to anyone interested in solar electric systems.

Great reading for any solar DIYer
In my opinion, the general part should have been a bit shorter since every DIYer is well familiar with the very PV basics. Nevertheless the book is well written and contains lots of practical information –the site survey tips, ‘whether to go solar’ checklist and the cheat sheet at the end. The examples seem quite adequate and well developed. I think they will work and I‘m going to apply one of them to connect my laptop to solar power. The book describes various free software tools for PV system design. I wonder whether the authors provide a similar sizing tool and whether it’s free or not.

Comprehensive and practical guide
There are many publications on the subject, but in my opinion this book represents a truly comprehensive and practical guide about how to design and put together all of the parts of а solar power system. The book may save many hours of research and confusions and in the same time is full of practical shortcuts and applicable hints.

Solid book for planning a solar power solution
Found this book really useful for a high level design and plan for an off grid solar power project. Given I am still in the process of acquiring the land, there was good information on what too look for to get 100% Peak Sunlight Hours. If you know the basics of electric circuits and solar systems, this is a great book to get you started on planning and designing a high level solution. Lots of external references that are useful too. Recommended.
