Are you looking for a simple and understandable introduction to the basics of photovoltaics for beginners? Do you want to become independent of the power grid and electricity prices? Are you interested in planning and installing a do-it-yourself photovoltaic system to generate your own electricity? Would you like to learn all this and more in a professional way from an engineer?
Then this book is for you, whether you are looking for a book on planning a stand-alone photovoltaic system (off-grid) or a grid-connected system (on-grid) with or without battery storage! This book is also good for anyone, who just wants to get some general information about the topic. As an engineer (M.Eng.), I would like to explain to you in this book how you can easily plan and install a photovoltaic system both for feeding electricity into the grid and for your home, motor home, garage, workshop, car, RV and so on. In this book we distinguish between off-grid and on-grid (grid-tied) solar systems. Two practical step-by-step examples (PV system for a tiny house and PV system for a house) will show you how to plan, build and install a solar system or PV system yourself.
Take a look inside now and get your copy!
What does Wp mean? What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV panels? Why do you need an inverter or a PWM or MPP charge controller and how do you connect these components? How do you add a battery storage to your PV system? All these questions and many more are answered step by step and in detail in this book. This book is very hands-on i.e., we will work with many images and practicable instructions. However, the theoretical basics will not be neglected. Especially on the first pages of the book you will get to know the most important electrotechnical basics concerning photovoltaics. In addition to these basics, special terms used for photovoltaic panels (e.g.: MPP, nominal power, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, ...) will be explained to you. You will also learn about parallel and series connection of PV modules and battery storage, and their effect on current and voltage. Of course, we also take a look at the possibilities of mounting the PV modules on a roof.
This handy book contains everything you need to know to be able to plan and install your own photovoltaic or solar system.
The benefits of this book at a glance:
- Step-by-step explanations of how to build a photovoltaic system and connect its components with guidance from an engineer (Master of Engineering)
- Hands-on learning with great example projects - step-by-step instructions
- Understand both the electrical basics and the actual PV system design
- Find an easy & quick introduction to the topic of photovoltaics
- Simple and understandable explanations - perfect for laymen and even for general information purposes
Learn everything important quickly! Compact and to the point on about 120 pages
