GREEN DIY ENERGY REVIEW:
Solar & Wind DIY Guide
Rating:
Joseph Little's design guide is vary detailed and complete. It is a very professional guide that thoroughly covers everything needed to build a renewable energy system. This step-by-step guide consists of design manuals and videos. The videos were produced by a NABCEP certified electrician. There are manuals included which illustrate how a solar panel can be made for less than $100. They also illustrate how a wind turbine can be constructed for around $100. The guides contain many photos and diagrams.
A comprehensive sizing guide is provided to calculate the system load, the wiring and battery capacity. It also explains how to determine the number of panels required to adequately power everything. Additionally there is an installation manual and information on tax credits.
It also contains:
* basic information about solar energy
* how solar energy is produced
* basic solar system layout
* how to Find Solar Panels for free
* the solar panel system
* basics of PV solar panel installation
* how to hook up multiple solar panels
* how to Maintain Your Solar Panel System
* how to store your energy using multiple batteries
* Detailed Solar Plans
* materials required and where to get it
* Step-by-Step Photos Showing You Exactly What To Do
* obtaining city permits to installation of the solar panels
* how to calculate how much money that solar energy can save for your household
* how qualifying for USA Federal and State renewable energy tax incentives
The videos are divided into several chapters:
