The Solar Electricity Handbook

The Solar Electricity Handbook is a simple, practical guide to using electric solar panels and designing and installing photovoltaic PV systems.

Assuming no previous knowledge of solar electric systems, our book explains how photovoltaic panels work, how they can be used and explains the steps you need to take to successfully design and install a electric photovoltaic system from scratch.

The Solar Electricity Handbook is currently in its 2010 Edition and is published by Greenstream Publishing. It is available from Amazon and from all good book sellers.
