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.
