Understanding Solar Power

If you want information on solar electric systems, written in a non-technical manner that you can easily understand, you've come to the right place.

With all the technical jargon kept to a minimum (and when necessary, fully explained), you will have all the answers to the questions that have made you a little hesitant, in the past, to get more involved in this clean, renewable form of energy production.

The environmental importance of alternative forms of energy production cannot be overstated.
Solar power, wind power and micro-hydro power are non-polluting, renewable and sustainable forms of energy production and their use should be actively encouraged.

An important step in this direction is to have readable, easy to understand information available.

Now, with the information offered here, you will be able to move forward and take advantage of this clean, renewable source of electrical power.
Now days, most people realize that solar energy is here to stay.
It works, it's affordable and the positive environmental impact is substantial.

However, many people are slightly baffled by the idea of having plenty of electrical power, without the large utility companies being involved.

How does solar power work?


How do the various components of the system hook up and interact with each other?


Could I install it myself?


Can I still use all my appliances?


How will I know if its being installed correctly?


What if I'm already tied into the regular power grid?

These and just about any other questions you may have are all answered in Understanding and Installing Your Own Solar Electric System.

Save yourself $3000 by installing them yourself


Solar Panels now come in many shapes and sizes to reflect growing demand for the products. In fact, there are so many companies out there and so many new products that figuring out which ones to buy has become much more difficult than it should be.

In our own search for the right solar-panels we quickly learned that we just didn’t know enough about solar power and solar panels in general. We knew we needed help in understanding the new solar panels but where would we find that help? We needed a simple guide that even we could understand.

We had decided to install solar panels in our home, we just didn’t know enough about them to make a good decision. So we did an internet search, which quickly revealed a number of sources of information. We were relieved that there was so much information out there to help us!

It looked like all of the books were basically the same so we bought one called ‘The Solar Energy Installation Guide” The title sounded right on and we were excited to get started.
