Build a solar power system that actually works. Written by someone who has built thousands of them. After nearly twenty years in the solar industry and involvement in thousands of installations, Dave Simmer has seen every mistake in the book. Now he has written the book so you do not have to make them. The Off-Grid Solar Power Bible is the most practical, honest guide to off-grid solar power available, updated with 2026 equipment prices, current battery technology, and real-world sizing examples for tiny homes, cabins, RVs, and boats. Inside, you will learn:
  • How to calculate your exact daily power needs, and why this is the most important step most people skip
  • Why LiFePO4 batteries have become the clear default in 2026, and how to size your bank correctly
  • The real difference between PWM and MPPT charge controllers, and why it matters to your bottom line
  • Step-by-step installation guidance: wiring sequences, safety protocols, and mounting for every surface type
  • System designs specific to tiny homes, cabins, RVs, and boats, because each one has its own quirks
  • How to live with your system day to day: load management, efficiency upgrades, and troubleshooting
  • The most common off-grid mistakes, and exactly how to avoid them
2026 Buyer's Guide included, with real equipment price ranges, honest cost comparisons between system tiers, and worked sizing examples you can adapt to your own situation. This book is for you if:
  • You are building or planning an off-grid system for a tiny home, cabin, RV, or boat
  • You want to actually understand what you are buying, not just follow a diagram and hope
  • You are tired of guides that talk down to you or talk over your head
No engineering degree required. No jargon for the sake of it. Just two decades of hands-on solar experience, explained the way Dave would explain it to a friend at the kitchen table. The Off-Grid Solar Power Bible is the last solar guide you will need to buy.
