| Summary |
"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; details on planning and servicing systems; water pumping; refrigeration; and 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."--Publisher's description |
