Review: Awesome book - thank you! - Been watching your YouTube channel which is great, to gain knowledge to put small solar on my shed for lights and garden lights then for our timber garden building which has mains power. Your book has been really helpful and I recommend it to anyone. My only comment is I am in the uk so mains in 240v and I wanted to set up a 24v system. Cos you’re USA based you are 110v and the book is only 12v. It took me ages to realise (as a newcomer to building solar systems) that all your calcs could be halved or doubled for 24v vs 12v. Just a line in the book could have explained that. I also struggled to calculate the charge controller size I needed as I had 4 x 320w panels connecting to a 24v battery pack (2x12v, will be 4). Not sure I found that calculation in the book - 1280w / 24 = 53a. I kept using the amps from the panels to calculate which is 20a so almost bought a 30a charge controller. Highly recommend this book, it’s so good at explaining all the principles, and to be fair the book is for RVs so I can’t complain about not the right info for a heavy duty domestic set up. Will use the book for my boat! Review: Great book for beginners and experts alike - Great book for total beginners and experts alike. Full of useful little tips throughout the book (eg buying 2 x 40amp controllers rather than a single 80amp to save money). The supporting diagrams throughout the book are well drawn, very easy to understand and support the text very well. The only small change, and it is small, I would like to see is the inclusion of metric measurments in addition to those used in the US of A? Ok you can do these of page but it would really ice the cake Overal though a very nice piece of work William.

Solar Power basics for the real world, great book, well worth purchasing.
Here in the UK sunlight is a less frequent visitor, even so there is value in having a system, as you can charge phones, laptops, battery banks etc. This book that Will has put together covers all the important elements of a solar power system,with hints tips as attention to safety and good working practices. His you tube channel is refreshingly honest and his knowledge is wide and comprehensive. I highly recommend the book for all those interested in solar power from beginner to expert.

Excellent book very helpful and concise.
I read this book whilst learning how to build a solar battery system for my shed. It was very helpful and greatly reduced my learning curve! Would highly recommend it to anyone interested in building an off grid solar system.

Great solar reference guide
Really good book that lays out solar and power in a way even non electrical persons like myself can understand. Read it every day by the pool on holiday and filled the notes section. If you haven't already subscribe to wills you tube channel.

Very informative and not to Technical
This has allowed me to learn a lot from this book and although written by an american much of the information crosses the water, i am now looking for a book written specifically for the uk just to dot the t's and cross the eyes.

Goed boek
Duidelijk beschreven, had alleen de plaatjes in het boek in kleur gewild. Is een goed naslag boekje. Ben tevreden. Aan te bevelen voor beginners, zoals ik. Geen communicatie met verkoper.

easy to read & understand for a dummy like me
This book is a great reference for DIY people, im starting to build an off grid solar system in NSW Australia and having it down on paper to cross check my items and wiring is awesome. Im using a Renogy 40A MPPT controller and 2 x 100w panels to a cheap eBay 100AH liFePo4, its currently connected to a battery box at the moment for portable power while i build my cabin. It also has a lot of tips and things to remember which is great for someone like me. Well worth the money.

Semplice ed efficace
Ho preso questo libro dopo aver visto diversi video su YouTube dell'autore. Il testo è semplice e basilare ma efficace. Ottimo per chi come me parte da zero.
