A PDF copy will be available in your Audible library along with the audio.

Imagine if you could cut your electricity bill in half by adding a solar setup to your house. Now what if I said you could design and install your DIY solar power system and escape the labor costs?

Since available information in this regard is incomplete, DIY Source has prepared a practical guide on how to set up DIY solar power systems. DIY Solar Power for Beginners will guide you in customizing your grid, tied as well as mobile and off-grid solar power systems.

We will walk you through the whole process of building your own solar system, including calculating your electricity needs. This blueprint uses a pragmatic approach and emphasizes the essentials, while covering all the necessary details so that you will be able to DIY it, or, if you need to hire a contractor, you will know what to expect from them.

In this solar guide, you will discover:

  • Pros and cons of different types of systems, and guides to choose the proper one
  • Beginner-friendly guide on essential electricity rules and circuits
  • How to use solar installation tools
  • How photovoltaic solar cells and panels function
  • Grid tied and off-grid solar power simplified formula to calculate your electricity needs and power consumption
  • How to size your roof for solar panel installation
  • How to mount your own solar panels
  • How to size the proper charge controller for your grid connected and off-grid power system
  • How lead acid, lithium ion battery work and how to size a battery for your off-grid survival
  • How inverters function and a formula to select the proper inverter
  • Easy-to-understand instructions on how to use correct wire size, connectors, and safety devices

Each journey begins with the first step. To start your DIY project, take your step today and get your copy of the audiobook now.
