One of the best ways to get power to remote, off-grid locations, whether in developed or developing countries, is through the use of solar electric systems. This practical guide describes how to plan, design and install solar electric systems in a manner that is hands-on, graphic and technically complete. Highly illustrated chapters cover:
- solar energy basics
- components of solar electric systems (modules, batteries, regulators, inverters and appliances)
- installation practice
- on planning and servicing systems
- water pumping
- refrigeration
- village electrification.
This is the must-have guide for electric technicians and designers, development workers, and anyone who wants to install their own off-grid system.
