Consumer review about DIY Solar Projects - Updated Edition: Small Projects to Whole-home Systems: Tap Into the Sun :
Fantastic book to get your feet wet with real world solar projects, I built one and i'm not even an electrician! If i can do it, literally anyone can. This book walks you through all the components, what they do and how to rig it up, Ive added some photos of a project I did which is loosley based on the "solar cart" project, mine doesnt include the cart and uses a folding solar panel for portability, a bison box instead of an inverter. Separate inverter can plug into the cigarette lighter port on the bison box if required.1. Bison Box2. 100Ah 12v Solar Battery (inside the bison box)3. Charge Controller4. MC4 Connectors5. Extra Cabling6. Folding Solar Panel without charge controllerSo there you go, all that from reading this book, I've read other books but they only give you vague ideas for projects but never discuss the guts of the operation, I mean, I'm not an electrician and I managed to rig this up and it works really well, I wouldnt have had the confidence without this book(Read more)
